The International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP ), also known as the Petrucci Music Library , is a crowdsourced database of public domain music scores. Driven by a belief that "music should be something that is easily accessible to everyone", the site was created in 2006 with a goal of creating an exhaustive collection of music scores that are not under copyright. Today, over 390,000 scores are freely available to download from IMSLP , representing approximately 119,000 works by over 15,000 composers.
Regular users of Wikipedia will find the IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library , a wiki-style website, easy to navigate. The site uses Google for its internal search engine, providing most internet users with a familiar and comfortable interface, as well as reliable search results. Users can also browse by composer name or nationality, period, instrumentation, genre and language.
