Classical Music Downloads

This is a great site where you can download classical sheet music for free.

The Music Library of the International Journal of Contemporary Composition updates their collection regularly and offers scores for download of music that is in the public domain.

If you’re looking for music to play or to study you can find many selections from which to choose here. The Bach Partitas for violin are beautiful and fit well on either the marimba or the vibraphone. The Bach Two Part Inventions are a joy to play as well. They work well as duets with another player or they can be played by one player. You can either browse the site or search for a specific work.
