[Menvi-discuss] Music Resources

[Ton P]

Greetings to the MENVI community,
I’m sharing a resource for any members outside of the U.S. who do not have access to NLS or even U.S. citizens looking for scores that NLS may not have. EG, scores like Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra, Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloe, ETC. Founded by blind Chinese musician Hu Haipeng, the BrailleOrch Open Braille Music Project transcribes and hosts a large collection of mainly chamber and orchestral scores. 
http://www.brailleorch.org/en/
There’s also a list of other braille music resources or accessible music programs found at the bottom of the home page or here,
http://www.brailleorch.org/en/resources/
Note that Musescore scores will no longer be free to download without a premium subscription by March 13 this Friday despite being listed on that page. There’s also a PDF to Musescore file converter found here or by selecting the “import PDF” function in the Musescore program.
https://musescore.com/import#
For more complex scores, taking one or two pages at a time may work but more often than not the PDF isn’t compatible due to complexity or formatting.
Hopefully these will help you acquire any music material you’ve been looking for.


Regards,
Ton
