Comment: You have a wonderful site with lots of great music. I agree wholeheartedly with your rating system! You have obviously put a lot of work into this site - thankyou on behalf of all of us musicians who always hope to find a site like this, but rarely stumble across such a good one! Well done, and keep up the good work!

Comment: A beautiful page, the best of the best, I love the classical music and this page has been a great treasure for me.

Comment: Hey! You must be a great piano player to create such a wonderful site! how old are you? I'm 13 and just started the 2nd hungarian rhapsody by Liszt. Could you give me some advices on how to play the piece, stylewise? 1 more thing-could you list the chopin etudes in order of difficulty levels as well? Also I thought that the Emperor concerto by Beethoven is really difficult but it only got a 3-piano rating! And what would you rate the hungarian rhapsodies by liszt, skillwise? please let me know. Thank you!

Comment: Hey, I can't d/l any sheetmusic at ur site. I hope that can be regulated as soon as possible ! Thx ~

Comment: I love Beethoven and his work, but I relly LOVE ur web page, it just says a lot about Beethoven and all the wonderful pieces of music he did!! ~*Jenni*~

Comment: I really like the idea that you can pick which music you woud like to hear while searching the site. Please try to get Haydn's sonata in G major. Could you write me and tell me if that is possible and when. If Iwant to contribute music how can Ido this.

Comment: Even in the smallest country of the lowlands, your site is well known. for my lovely wife,would there be any sheets available from the musical 'oklahoma'?

Comment: Cool page ... I love piano, I go to recitals and do pretty good in exams and stuff ... almost all my favourite songs are by Beethoven

Comment: I enjoyed your page very much! Thank you! Are you able to get Mozart's Piano Concert #17 K453 (mp3 file)?

Comment: I could download Op.25 (Godowsky transcriptions).
But I try to download Op.10 and I can't download.Why? Please, help me. Thanks for your page.

Comment: Excellant web page it's great to find new sheet music pages. Well done for including Liszts La Campanella. and I think the difficulty ratings are just right.

Comment: This page is fantastic. I've finally found sheet music of the most popular classical music. Thanks a lot !!

Comment: This was a great site. I enjoyed listening to some of Chopin's works that I haven't heard before. However, It would be nice if you could include Tchaikovsky's Waltzes & one of his pieces called Dumka. Also, one of Brahm's Rhapsodies (I don't know the Op #: I do know it is in the key of E flat major) (Op.59) I have looked all over the internet (I'll keep looking) for those peices, I have even looked in www.sheetmusicarchives.net (that is an excellent site) and I didn't find them. Thanks!!

Comment: Yes I really do love the site. But I am looking for the transcription of the Etude Op.10 No.1 in C major by Leopold Godowsky. And since I am 15 do you think I am able to know how to play it. Also my hand, thumb to pinky can stretch from C to F.

Comment: Hi, I'm looking for "Etude op.10 n:12. Revolutionary" (Frédéric Chopin). Do you have it? Thanks.

Comment: Is it possible to provide the second of Schubert's three Piano Pieces D. 946 ? It would be very kind !

Comment: Great scores! Nice Web site! I'm trying to find from Liszt "bagatelle sans tonalite" in pdf. Do you have it?

Comment: Nice site. One remark though. I play the piano for twelve years now, I can play "Flight of the Bumblebee" (Rimsky-Korsakov) but I can't play the "Waldstein-Sonata" (Beethoven) and it only get's two "pianos" while the "flight of ..." gets three of them! Anyway, it's a small detail for a nice site like this, keep up the good work!

Comment: I'm trying to compile a list of the 20 best classical pieces, but know very little about the subject. Can you let me know your ideas?

Comment: I can't download the sheetmusic of etude op.10 no.1,can you send me by e-mail?

Comment: If ur homepage can download the sheetmusic , I think ur homepage is brillient . hope that u can upload it ASAP ~

Comment: Love the page! Sometimes I just want to hear the music, not spend all eternity searching for it. I'd have no trouble finding Kid Rock, but who cares? I want classical and I am a Beethoven lover. Thanks!

Comment: Great site. Feel free to visit my site to see who I am and what I'm up to! =)

Comment: Thank you very much for your manificent and extraordinary music page!! In this time of so much turbulence, of so much pain and sorrow, your music brings us what everybody needs and wants. Peace, peace and more peace...Thanks again!

Comment: Very nicely done with great music. How do I down load some of those music to my computer?

Comment: I love your designs, I think that they are extremely beautiful and armonic. I'm studying Graphic Design, and i'm working also in a newspaper. I really appreciate your work, and you are really talented.
Thank u very much! for reading this message. Hope that u can write me back! :-)

Comment: Hi! Thank you for your music page, I like most Liszt´s La Campanella! I have notes for it.. But I can´t play it yet ;) Only very slowly. Have a nice work!

Comment: How possible would it be to add Schubert's D. 946, No. 2? For me, that particular piece is incredible.

Comment: Your site really helped me with my composer project for my music theory class in cello (that is what I play). Besides, I love Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music. Feel free to e-mail me about updates on your page. I will look forward to your letters.

Comment: Thanks so much for creating such a great site!! This has been the only sheet music site that I have downloaded that gave me exactly what I needed in the format that I wanted it in!

Comment: Hi there~! I'm attending a music appreciation class in my college and we just finished studing the baroque and classical periods and into the romantic period. I just surfed in, out of curiousity and I really enjoyed your site. I think I'm finally really starting to appreciate these wonderfully composed music! Keep up the good work! =)

Comment: Great to have your info on Godowsky. It cost me the equivalent of about $200 to buy the etudes - and I can only manage to play a couple of them! Let's hope your new site will allow us to download his works. At the moment, I'd love just to have a copy of Alt Wein (even Victor Borge used to play this marvellous piece of nostalgia). But what of the other transcendentalists: Liapunov, Alkan, Busoni - now all out of print? And the (not quite so transcendental) Russians? It's an enormous task.

Comment: This site is really nice ... the problem I have is I can't unzip the files ... the song I was looking for was "The Prelude 1" from the Well Tempered Clavier Book One J.S. Bach. Can't find the tabliture.

Comment: I really like your site. It is a huge work !. May some of my classical midi music arrangements, especially F. EMIROV (not heard ?) from Azerbaidjan contribute your site ? and/or will you please consider linking my page...
If so, I'd be very glad.

Comment: I am 14 years old and am made fun of because I like classical music, especially from beethoven. he is so cool. I also play the piano. Can you add beethoven's pathetique please... love your homepage!!

Comment: You have got a GREAT website here... very coherent and "understanding". I have been trying to get Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu for ages, and I've finally got it (Opera 66 right?)..Thanks

Comment: I´m looking for some godowsky studies (8,9,16,20 and 21) in your page Icould not to download.
I'd like Minute Waltze transcriptions and Liszt-Horowitz transcriptions. If you send me I´ll to thank you very much.
Do you have some Cziffra transcription? I'm waiting for your message.....

Comment: I think it's not very wonderful.You should put more songs and musicsheets like powerpuff girls cartoon songs,para-para dances songs...

Comment: I really enjoyed your Godowsky Page. I am 16 yrs. old and am currently learning Op. 10 No. 1, C Major and it is the most awesome song I have ever attempted. It really is cool and a privilage to have someone out there that has sheet music for free. Thanks a lot.(As you might notice, I am new to the whole sheet music on the internet gig.)

Comment: hey i love your site! I found quite a few songs that I enjoy, including the badinerie by bach and "in the hall of the mountain king" by grieg :) Um... however, the sheet music is too print to be printed out, any suggestions? how do I reduce the size? Here are some music I like: "Appassionata" by Beethoven and "Pavane" by Faure

Comment: Thank you very much, to put to our disposition, the studies chopin-godowsky that hacian lack. Thanks to offer these pianisticas jewels us.

Comment: Hello I like your websit and it is the only place i have found any music worth listning to. I'll tell you my website when it is finished.

Comment: Hi It's so beautiful page. Hmm I need so much that Godowsky's score. But I can't buy it in Korea. It won't import. But It attract me so much. If it's files, Can you send the files by E-mail? Please~ I'm waiting...

Comment: I really liked your music page design. It works! I need a piano picture, Is it possible for me to have one from your page? Also I am arranging some classical Azerbaijcani music midi files. I'd like them to take place on music pages. What should I do? just send it? Sincerely your.

Comment: Beautiful website, very good links and a good collection of sheet music. I am (also) looking for sheet music of the Bach-Siloti prelude in b minor. Do you have it or do you have a link?

Comment: Hey All, love the site. It is so good and easy to use and i cant belive you put all the godowsky sheet music up, that is so cool. Does anyone have Rachmaninoff sonata no 1 or corelli variations or know where to get them. Thanks keep up the good work:)

Comment: It is a very nice collection. I started listening to the western classical recently when i was working in grmany. i wud know the tunes but never the names. So when i wanted to buy the cd i wdn't know which one to buy. But thanks to u i hope i can find my way. Thanks a lot... have fun

Comment: Brilliant site! I just have 1 problem - cannot seem to download Liszt: Etude No. 3 (La Campanella) version 1. Have tried lots of times. Can you help ne?

Comment: Great page. Well done and easy to navigate. Would you know where I could find the sheet music for Beethoven's Tempest? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Comment: It is pleasing to see that some people like classical music... However I am very disappointed to see there is no Brahms on your musicpage!!! If you want a piece with difficulty 5 pianos put the Paganini studies; at least they are more than just technical difficulty. Other pieces from Schumann, Schubert???!!! Bach Beethoven Bartòk!!!
Romanticism is very attractive but there is more to it than just Liszt and Chopin... don't you think?

Comment: It´s impossible to unload the Chopin-Godowsky studies number 25 to 53. Please let me know when it's going to be fixed to download them. Thank you

Comment: Your site is Great! (except for a lot of typo errors etc..) The site is really helpful especially with the sheetmusicarchive.com correction! I have been looking for that site for awhile coz it just disappeared but now i know that it should be with a .net. I'll get back to you again.

Comment: I will try to rebuild the missing Godowsky Etudes in a week. Basically I haven't touched that account for so long that it got disactivated and all contents in the site (basically just a bunch of files) got deleted :-(

Comment: Sniff this is one of many of the best site that provide the stuff I need. Sniff i'm really happy and I think I might cry if you add more sheet music for romance music :-)

Comment: Can you please get the following piece for me : Gottschalk - Souvenir de Porto Rico-Marche des Gibaros.

Comment: Good webpage you have here. Yes you are welcome to visit my webpage as well.

Comment: Hi friends, I'm pianist and I write from Venezuela. I don't speak english very well. I want to say you, that the Etudes chopin-godowsky, number 28 to 52 can be down. I ask to you, that please, fix the page. Thank you very much.

Comment: I enjoyed your site. I would like to have "The complete Sonatas and Partitas for Violin" by JS Bach transposed for the cello.(sheet music) is this available? Thank you.

Comment: God bless you and yours. Keep up the good work.

Comment: Wrong Notes -- it is just a nickname of Chopin's Etude Op.25 No.5 (guess why ... ;-) ) I just saw this name from a website ...

Comment: Hello Alan. I am trying to get some history about Lizst´s La Campanella, like what was happening at the time, what was he going through, what was in his mind at that time, etc. Your site is very nice, thanks!

Comment: I was just wondering with Op. 25 No. 5, It says wrong notes next to it. What does that mean?? Absolutely love the site!! keep up the good work!

Comment: how the hell do i download the fur elise sheet music. At first i didn'nt think it was possible until i saw that you had written next to the link of the midi file "probably the easiest piece" Please tell me or send it to me.

Comment: Perhaps you already knew this page, but nevertheless I show you the address.
On this page you can download all of the Godowsky-Chopin Studies (except one; namely the most difficult piece) as MP3-files played by Kebvin Hadsell! http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/262/hadsell_chopin_etudes.html

Comment: Hi!!!! I love your site - and the piano rating idea is really useful cos I was able to go straight to the pieces appropriate to my grade. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment: Hey Alan Its Don. I would just like to thank you once again for the chopin godowsky files you put on the internet!!
Also the mp3 of kevin handsell is actually done with Midi Technology.
By the way do you happen tyo have any Rachmaninoff sonatas? Love The Site Friendly Don :-)

Comment: I love your page! I am especially thankful for your kindness in uploading the Chopin-Godowsky paraphrases. I have one question: When I downloaded the Preparatory Exercises, I opened the file and found it to be damaged, with three pages missing. Is my file corrupt, or is it an accidental error that has not been fixed yet? Also, the link to the exercises needs to be changed slightly: there is a slight typo.

Comment: I love this page! Glad to see that you still keep it up ... By the way, do you happen to know where I can find midi files of Sousa's work?

Comment: Alan, quite a collection! I am am amateur pianist living in the US. I have been looking for rare piano sheet music, particularly those piano transcriptions by Horowitz, Cziffra, Arcadi Volodos, etc. Do you have any connections? Or do you have any technics that can convert an analog audio recording into midi, from which Ican just convert them into notations? Please drop a line if you can. Thanks.

Comment: Hi I am a French Chopin lover and I'm looking for the score of the Prelude Op.28 No.10 in C# Minor

Comment: I noticed there is no mp3 to the Hamelin Triple Etude. I have the mp3 to it, contact me if you want it up or you just want it to add to you collection. Also in about a couple of days I'll hopefully get the Black Key Etude and the La Campanella mp3 as well.

Comment: I am 14 and an avid listener to romantic/classical piano music. I enjoyed listening to thrilling liszt pieces and godowsky piece. Continue running this site!

Comment: Wonderful site!!!!!I hope that you keep on updating your site...

Comment: I found your webpage looking for Schubert's Impromptus. By reading it I feel that I am not alone on my classical
music feelings. I also have a list of favorites. It is 1. Mozart; 2. Schubert; 3. Beethoven; 4. Mendelsohn, Chopin, Brahms, Rossini; 5. Haydn, Tchaikowsky. Keep up the good work!!!

Comment: What an enormous amount of wonderful work!! Thanks so much! Do you know that the midi g52 comes in as g53 and so does g53. I can't imagine how much time and effort went into this, and how you managed to do it with such an error-free product. Do you know where you can get any of the Horowitz transcriptions, like "Stars and Stripes Forever" or "The Carmen Variations"? Also some of Steven Hough's arrangements, especially "Danny Boy"?

Comment: I chanced upon your site and love it. Thank you for promoting beautiful music on the web. I am a grandmother who took piano lessons as a child. I wish I had learned to play better, but I still enjoy listening to others play.

Comment: Re: "Less great than Beethoven, I personally think ;-)! The harmony and melody are usually not rich enough ... anyway I'll pick some pieces with nice melody ..." How can you possibly say this!! To think that Beethoven is better than Mozart is simply ludicrous!! One only needs look at the original copies to see Mozart's pristine work and Beethoven's manuscripts littered with the corrections and adjustments Mozart never needed to make. If Beethoven is so good, how come one of his most famous pieces, the Chorale from the 9th Symphoney [sic], is almost identical to a Mozart piece only transposed to a major key?? Even the lyrics aren't his own!! I can always tell Beethoven by the overly drawn-out ending that leaves me wishing it would just keel over and die!! Had Mozart lived another 20 years, most of us wouldn't even know who Beethoven was! For rich harmony try opening your ears to the Haydn-dedicated quartet, "Dissonance", it's so rich it's almost jazz!!

Comment: This is a great site - especially the Godowsky arrangements of the Chopin Etudes. If you like this kind of music, why not check out my Scorch Music Homepage where you will find some of my own transcriptions (including piano arrangements of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons) and some original compositions.

Comment: Great site. Did you add a little something in Liebestruame No.3? This one part sounds a little diferent. But, great site.

Comment: Your page is great! I've been searching for Godowski's transcription for a lot. Now I would some arrangements of Bach's organ pieces by Busoni. Can you help me?

Comment: I was amazed when I saw the info on Godowsky. I have literally searched Los Angeles and Miami Universities looking for this music. Now that I have heard Madge and especially Hamelin I know this is music in its own right. Thanks so much. West Palm Beach.

Comment: Hi! Congratulations for your great Godowsky's sheet music page! But, can you help me to find others arrangements by Godowsky, particularly Renaissance music, and Bach partitas and suites? I search a Bach/Siloti "Prelude in B minor" and Gluck/Sgambati "Orphée melody", have you got an idea where I can find it ? So thanks a lot! Musically, Syrill Porra.

Comment: Hi, your site is very good. I am a pianist and composer, and found it very useful. Maybe it would be great to have exercises applied to known pieces of the classical repertoire. Best wishes, Manuel.

Comment: Do you have any other Godowsky music? I am looking for the Chopin Etudes edited by Godowsky. This is supposed to be out of print but maybe you have it?

Comment: 36 year old pianist, always looking for nice friends who love music especially pianomusic ICQ 101675589

Comment: I am looking for Godowsky's arrangement of schuberts moment musicaux Op.94 No.3 The Carl Fischer web site says this is out of print. Could you advise where Icould get this from?

Comment: At last a usefull website!!! Your page is great!!! I've been searching for the Godowsky Etudes for
ages, so thanks for them. Best of luck for other projects!!!

Comment: What a wonderful site. I recently discovered the Godowsky Etudes and bought some recordings. But, being a musician my one dissapointment was that I could not follow the music. Then I found your site and downloaded the files. Thanks for providing such a wonderful site. Now I have an even better appreciation for what Godowsky created. You obviously put a lot of work in to the site and you should be very proud. All the best to you!

Comment: Yes all music scores and midis here are free. Unfortunately I only collect and upload difficult / hard to find piano music (more Liszt Etudes, Waltz etc will come). Vividi's Winter is great but I don't have the score :-(
For common music sheets please visit http://www.sheetmusicarchive.com which offers thousands of free classical sheets.

Comment: I really like your site, but I have a few questions. First of all, I can download the music you have for free, right? Second, do you think that you could add vivaldi's winter? that is the sheet music I really need, but I don't have any money to buy it with. Thank you very much.

Comment: I think your site is perfect!!! It is so nice of you to put up all the godowsky songs. Could you please also put up the other things that aren't the songs like the technical stuff and all of that? Thanks heaps.

Comment: Your page is awesome! I've been searching for the Godowsky etudes, among other things, for months! The only thing your page needs to be complete is the Godowsky transcription of Saint-saen's "The Swan". Thanks for having a great site!

Comment: Hey, I love your website! It's pretty cool! I myself love to play piano and have been playing for quite awhile more than half my life(then again, I'm only 15)I love the midis and I'm really grateful that you added links to other sites where I could find more sheet music to work on. One thing to add that would be pretty cool is something about the Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens, particularly The Swan. I just finished studying that piece and I fell in love with it! I think you'll love it too.

Comment: Good page, could use just a few more selections, but still nice....good to add selections like America the Beautiful, Liberty Bell March, Serenade to Spring, English Folk Song Suite...that kind of stuff

Comment: Can't view or download the new Marc-Hamelin scores - Help??

Comment: I think your site is great. It can be even better if you add lots of works by Alkan to your site. That should give it the boost it needs.

Comment: Great page! I especially like Chopin's Butterfly Etude playing in the background. Come visit my page, it is about Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin and has free sheet music.

Comment: Thanks for scanning all the Chopin-Godowsky etudes; they're really quite cool. FYI, I recently found out that Carl Fischer will be republishing all (or most) of Godowsky's works in a four-volume set called "The Godowsky Collection." Chopin's etudes (and waltzes) will be in volume 3. I put a link to the page above (it's not really my homepage.) Again, great site!

Comment: I like the fact that you rate your sheet music based on difficulty! you give great listening samples! I tend to forget titles, but I know the tunes! Thanks for the great site!

Comment: Exellent!!! My dad had been searching for the Godowsky transcribed Etudes for a very long time and when I showed him your website he totaly flipped out. By the way he and me and the entire famuly play the piano. What you are doing is great, keep it up!!! However there are some pages missing which apperently don't have any music on them, but i'm still wondering whats on them. Thanks a lot!

Comment: I am really enjoying your website. You offer many things here that are quite useful. I am a piano teacher, living in California.

Comment: Hi! I was so impressed with your website I just had to drop you a line. It was fun "meeting" you and I thoroughly enjoyed your music! Thank you for sharing :-). Sincerely, Teree

Comment: Thank you for signing my guessbook! I'm so impressed everey time when I visit your homepage, because it is different every time! It's so nice of you to update your site constantly, (comparing with me, I'm too lazy to update my page!) Keep it up!

Comment: Amazing. I heard the godowsky etudes only a couple weeks ago. They are wonderful and it's great that you have them here. I don't know if you would have any more luck than I have been searching for a book written by isidor philipp. It has a French title but I believe it translates into "The Technique of Liszt". If you could find that somewhere or tell me where I could find it I would be indebtted

Comment: Muy buena web.Pero no he podido descargar el estudio Op.10 No.3. Me lo podria enviar via email? Gracias.

Comment: I am a very young composer for the piano. To listen to my classical works: http://KKZpiano.homestead.com

Comment: Wow! I can't believe it took me this long to find this site!!!! I've looked and looked for those Etudes, but I could either not find them or they were to expensive. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!

Comment: I have found your page after a lot of wasted time, and I want to congratulate you! It's marvellous! I play the piano, and I've found just what I was looking for! I think I will visit it more times. If you need some sheet music, just ask for it, ok? If somebody who read this can help me, it would be great: I'm looking for 'Poem' by Fibich. If somebody can scan it, please, send it to me! Thank you!

Comment: The best home I ever read. Well Done! Congratulation to you and Flora for getting married. When is it?

Re: - by Alan - forget about it!! We separated since 6/2000! You are out of date!! And I don't think I would like to marry a prostitute!!
