Sheet Music Galore

Edward Guo, a Canadian composter currently studying at Harvard Law, recently created the Internet Music Score Library Project. This online directory of sheet music boasts thousands of classical music scores and provides greater access for individuals in Canada. What makes Guo's project possible is Canadian law that says works by classical composers are considered in public domain 50 years after their deaths---unlike American law. Guo has been reported as saying the work it takes to scan the scores for online perusal is worth the satisfaction on behalf of his 'customer.'
