JamesFlashG Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 For any piano players out there this website is great i been using it so much lately for learning classical piano, starting to really get my sight reading skills up - i have found reading for piano makes reading music for bass seem like a walk in the park lol, Just thought I would share this anyway as I found it a struggle previously to find full scores online with out paying. Even if you don't play piano I find it's very useful just to see how these great composers structured their music and how they used clever harmony to support melodies. Might not be every bodies cup of tea but I love it! Anyway enough talking here's the link: http://www.allpianoscores.com/index.php Just select a composer on the left, pick a PDF download it or print it or just view it on your screen. Have fun! Quote
BassTractor Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 How can you live with yourself ?!?!?!?! I just had a Heart Attack (Sheer, admittedly, but still). Piano players?!?!? Here?!?!?! Oh, and a big thanks. I'll certainly use that a lot. Was just contemplating however to proceed to get both lotsa piano sheet music and a new Bongo, and now you've solved it for me. Bongoshops of the world, here I come! best, bert Quote
BobVbass Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Great stuff - thanks - my daughter''s learning piano at the mo (just got grade 3 distinction with full marks in all her pieces ) - this will be great for her Quote
lowdown Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Thank's for that - I noticed there was no Rachmaninoff there ? Mind you, you would need hands like shovels (Left hand anyway) I also wish there was somewhere I could grab some Dave Grusin piano parts. Garry Edited July 29, 2013 by lowdown Quote

ras52 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 O Basschat how I have missed thee. After a bit of a sabbatical I'm glad to see it's only a short hop - via a musically-literate drummer! - from a serious resource of public-domain scores to pimping a drag artiste. Quote

Jono Bolton Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 So just to confirm, this is nothing to do with free £20 notes for pianists? Quote
