thewayneAnd I also like sharing it.
Last year on Project Kickstarter, there was a project to fund researching, recording, and releasing under a free Creative Commons license a new recording of J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations by pianist Kimiko Ishizaka. Apparently transcripts of classical music are as locked down as modern music today is when it comes to licensing, so part of the funding was for the original folios to be researched and a new score to be transposed. It was also to pay for Ms. Ishizaka's services in recording this project.
The project is now done!
In addition to being able to download all the music for free, you can also download an app for the iPad that lets you follow the score while the music is playing, and you can download the score which can be used in the MuseScore app, which I know nothing about.
This link lets you download tracks individually in MP3 or Flac or if you scroll down a bit there's a 132 meg zip that you can download or Torrent down. I was really happy to help fund this project, I should be getting my CD in the mail real soon now.
