Description
"The International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) was a project for the creation of a virtual library of public domain music scores, based on the wiki principle. Since its launch on February 16, 2006, more than 15,000 scores, for 9,000 works, by over 1,000 composers were uploaded, making it one of the largest public domain music score collections on the web.[1] The project used MediaWiki software to provide contributors with a familiar interface.
Following a cease and desist letter from Universal Edition of Vienna, IMSLP closed on October 19, 2007.[2] It has since moved to a temporary site with no content. On 18 April 2008 the IMSLP announced that it will be back online on 1 July 2008 at 4:00 AM UT."
