- lib24, on 10/12/2007, -6/+69He is so old... it's hard to believe he is still alive...
- RATabora, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27So where do we get the music?
- AtomB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25I hate when they have a whole article about how all of his works are free on line but there are no links to actually get it.
- Zinite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Note: Please shut the ***** up.
- JeffH, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12And now that's it's on Digg there's no chance on getting it anymore!
GG Digg. - exsst, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Oh yeah indeed, he's all techy now..
He's often found writing python scripts in his basement to catch vulnerabilities in Microsoft windows.
Times have changed.. - codyman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Mozart came from a time before the RIAA
hard to believe those bastards weren't patrolling around concert halls of the time trying to catch people taking a free listen to any sound coming out of the building or something like that whole pre-napster era used to do - weevil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8It is a big deal. Barenreiter (who sold the digital rights) is the pre-eminent publisher of scholarly editions of Mozart (and Bach also). These are very expensive if purchased as dead-tree books.
- Tordenflesk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12You don't. All you get is the SCORE, not some huge-ass MP3-collection(That would've been dugg anyways)
- stubear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7As others have already pointed out, this is just the scores (sheet music for the plebes amonst us). Arrangements can still be copyrighted but according to the article, the publisher was paid $400,000 for the rights to digitize and publish the scores online.
- spisska, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Unfortunately (or fortunately for most of us) Falco is not yet in the public domain.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Mozart's my biggest musical influence! A true genius.
- bleutuna, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6AAARGH!!!
This article epitomizes my two largest pet peeves with news articles on websites:
1) Articles that write about a product/image/person/item's visual elements, and don't include a picture. Something akin to "26 Headed Calf Found" but no picture of the calf. Or "New rings around saturn look like Britney Spears." It's ridiculous.
2) Articles that write about websites, but have NO LINK in the actual article to the site itself.
Ugh. Anyway, thanks DIGGers for helpin' out on the latter :) - MusicalGenius, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Tordenflesk: I don't think you get the impact this has. You need to listen to it? Learn how to play. Nothing hurts your brain in learning to play Mozart. Quite to the contrary. Some may claim they don't have "the gift" but honestly hard work and practice can bring you a miracle. Even if you don't want to; still, you should be able to realize the impact this has. Did you read the article? They are hoping to get others to do the same. They are a phenomenal example. Superb!
- horndude77, on 10/21/2007, -0/+4oops here's a better link: http://www.imslp.org
- kev26, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I'm guessing it's either on this site or linked to it - mainly due to the fact I can't get to it.
http://www.mozarteum.at - International Mozart Foundation
edit: opps, luker beat me to it. - luker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Here is the direct link: http://www.mozarteum.at/03_Wissenschaft/03_Wissenschaft_NMAOnline.asp?SID=658126165211733
It is down right now. - DFrag, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5A couple of years ago they uncovered a lost piece of music that beethoven had written. It was posted on the BBC website, I've googled it and for the life of me I can't fine it.
Any help anyone?
Thanks - horndude77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I believe you're thinking of the previously undiscovered bach aria discovered summer 2005: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1501487,00.html
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on Internet."
That makes you sound like a moran. - toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Me too, especially in blogs, when they tell you all about a website, but don't provide a link.
- odaen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I went to his gig last Friday.
The entire affair was a bit moribund though. - TheoDork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4http://www.mozarteum.at/default.asp?deflng=en
Good luck with this link, it seems dead to me. - vuke69, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The score, or specific recordings? I have read TFA, but it's slightly ambiguous, the begining talks about pages, but the end part is not as clear.
The score has been public domain for a _very_ long time, so BFD.
Now if these are actual recordings, then this is very interesting. - arnar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Tordenflesk: the score IS the music, just in a different form.
This is awsome for those who *do* know how to read music and play (and there are plenty) because sheet music is much harder to come by than recordings.
Those who find this useless.. just don't digg this and go read something else. - Distroia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3When are places with low-bandwidth going to learn to start posting torrents of their material?
- aviazn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Nope, DFrag's right, I remember that BBC article too. Here it is, I guess it's a movement from a Beethoven oboe concerto:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/entertainment/2815067.stm
I googled "lost beethoven piece" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3actually, according to Hawkeye Pierce, to appear erudite, it's "ahh, Bach!"
- Similar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They really should have utilized the power of BitTorrent to lessen the load on their servers.
It would have been amazing to see more than 5,000 seeders per torrent. - chipitople, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i'm lost--so none of the links work? is there actually a site or not?
- n10sityr, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Rock me Amadeus!
- Zlatty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2none of the links work (***** does, but thats not the point)
anyway.... link us to the torrent or something ... haha - klauern, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2But you make an interesting proposal. What if there was a BitTorrent for web pages? That would not only be functional, but it would completely obliterate the costs of a "digg effect" or "slashdot effect". Wonder how feasible that would be...
Granted, I know there are websites out there for caching these pages, but for the most part, it wouldn't be that difficult to try to create something like BitTorrent but utilized for many small files instead of large sever-side files. Distributed computing at its best. - gboudreau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is not a big PDF file they made available for download.
It's a search engine to be able to research Mozart's works, which was digitized as thousands of PDF files.
There's no way BitTorrent could have helped here. - horndude77, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2There's lots of free sheet music sites out there. One of the best I've found is the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP). Check it out: www.imslp.org. If anyone is able to download these (if the site ever comes back up) they would probably be a good addition there.
- fylb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And yet another site of free sheet music : http://www.mutopiaproject.org/
- Geekbeard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3K622 FTW!
- sruffelman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The score for "Se Vuol Ballare" from "The Marriage of Figaro" would be wonderful. I wonder how long it will take for the site to actually come back up.
- jialuolu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Most musicians will continue to buy the Barenreiter, Henle, Durand, etc. editions of the scores for all composers (a ton of classical sheet music is in the public domain) because they rely on the accuracy (although I found an error in my Henle edition of the Beethoven sonatas..) of these editors and they're easier to use because of the fingerings and the binding. Examiners also won't be impressed when you hand them a stack of printer paper to follow for half an hour
- WickedEEE, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This seems to be the link.....
http://dme.mozarteum.at/
...but the blog I found it on complained about the site being down due to traffic. - jialuolu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.sheetmusicfox.com/
Sheet music fox is also fairly popular, although the library isn't as big as IMSLP, but better than mutopia project. Maybe it's just me, but I only use these just to look something up when I'm at the computer and much prefer to own the Barenreiter editions (or Schirmer or Dover if I'm broke) - fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't wait to blast this on my car stereo, the ladies won't resist shaking their asses to this track
- xbasilx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Rush to Download Mozart Crashes Site
http://www.redherring.com/Article.aspx?a=20188&hed=Rush+to+Download+Mozart+Crashes+Site§or=Industries&subsector=EntertainmentAndMedia - astrotrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1** DeLorean speeds past and hits 88 mph with two RIAA officials inside **

Now if only there was a link to I believe a quartet actually performing this lost beethoven.
- frequencyone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Mensch! Es heisst leck mich AM Arsch!
Lame :-( - jtcalhoun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Comments should be removable!
- TekeeTakShak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wish I'd known about this sooner >_
- southpawz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can verify that it's the link. Their servers seem a tad overloaded at the moment, so I guess I'll be trying again later.
