VIENNA — Mozart is now just a mouse-click away. Mozart maniacs, enthusiasts, students and scholars can now access the immortal composer's entire catalog through a free online database with some 24,000 pages.

The database — available at http://dme.mozarteum.at— also contains more than 8,000 pages of critical commentary published since 1954, said Ulrich Leisinger, head of research at the International Mozart Foundation.

(...)

The site is aimed at scholars, musicians and all music enthusiasts, Leisinger said, noting he hoped it would be of particular use to students in places such as India, where musical libraries aren't necessarily around the corner.

(..)

Site users can search for a specific work using key words and a scroll down menu. They also have the option of printing out individual movements.

I'm going to spending a lot of time at that site.  cool  Nothing's better than sitting down to listen to some good music with the score in your hand.

I saw this online a couple of days ago but the site wouldn't load.  I'm excited now, the site seems to work.
Thanks for the reminder.

Belay that.  It's still swamped under the load, at least the homepage loaded.

Can you listen to the music on the site, or download it?  The dots and lines will be quite meaningless for me, I'm afraid.

I can view everything just fine.  undecided

Fistful, the good part is the "lines and dots." Wink I don't believe the site provides music to listen to.
