Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
Welcome to the Petrucci Music Library! Our goal is to create a virtual library containing all public domain music scores, as well as scores from composers who are willing to share their music with the world without charge.
The Petrucci Music Library also encourages the exchange of musical ideas, both in the form of musical works and in their analysis. Feel free to post your analysis of a particular piece on the "discussion" pages, or join our forums for interactive discussion with the community. Read on...

Contributing
The IMSLP needs your help! Visit the Contributor Portal to learn about contributing to IMSLP. It is recommended that all new contributors read How to Submit a Score and Copyright Made Simple
Contributing: You can contribute and participate in the growth of this wiki by sharing your knowledge of music with others. If you have public domain sheet music on your shelves or hard disk, consider sharing it with the rest of the world by uploading it to the Petrucci Music Library! You can also help by importing public domain scores from other websites. Please refer to the score contributing guide for details.
Projects: The aim of our Community Projects is to acquire collections of works from inactive archives, scan or upload works from private donations, or other tasks. One of the current projects is the Orchestra Parts Project. Completed projects include the acquisition of the bh2000 archive, the Gutenberg score archive, and the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe.
Other Tasks: There are several ways of helping IMSLP, apart from contributing scores. You can help with the website maintenance, translation of IMSLP, or support IMSLP financially, among other things. Scores are not the only thing that one can contribute!
This is just a short overview. One can find all the details about contributing in the Contributor Portal.
