The contents in the "current" section is displayed on the home page. Keep this in mind when changing this page. Keep new entries at the top.
When adding new scores to the list, please take one entry in the "current" section and paste it to the "archive."
This featured list is intended to give special attention to rare editions, complete collections, or just nice things (complete operas, sets of parts, etc.). Pay attention to the scan quality of the score, which, of course, has to be excellent. Of particular interest are editions that have a certain musicological historical value.
Try to space out the pieces by composer, nationality, style, forces, etc.
Be aware that changes to this page will be reflected in the lay-out of the homepage.
