The Complete Works of Mozart on the Web

In honour of the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, Salzburg's International Foundation Mozarteum has published it's Neue Mozart-Ausgabe - the complete works, authenticated! - online in .pdf format.

NEUE MOZART-AUSGABE / DIGITAL MOZART EDITION

I thought this was pretty amazing news. They had something like 400,000 hits to the website in the first 12 hours, so their resources are somewhat overwhelmed at the moment, but they say they're working on it...there is even an apology on the front page, though how they could not have anticipated the demand is puzzling. I had trouble pulling up the pdfs when I tried just now...give it time.

At any rate, this is one site that gets a bookmark for sure.

Wow... thanks

Very nice! Thanks!

I've been looking for somewhere to buy this for some time.

To reply in kind:

MOZART-ARCHIV IM TURM

The ENTIRE works of Mozart, online available for download!

This site sickens me, as my christmas present is the entire works of Mozart, but I'll have to be content with having it all higher quality :thumbsup:

AAAAAFGHG! Daniel, I can't access it!! How do you do it? Do you need to install something? I tried both IE and Friefox...

Oh, and thanks to Lee as well. F*ckin' awesome...

....Except I can't access that either.

:P!

They both just load extremely slowly.

Gahh.

Is it just me, or is it all in German? Therefore pretty useless to me..

Gahh.

Is it just me, or is it all in German? Therefore pretty useless to me..

I saw an option on the page to change the language to English.

....Except I can't access that either.

The site keeps crashing because they're getting thousands of hits an hour...they've got tech people working on it. Patience!

Yes, the site will work in great English, but the actual text of the Ausgabe is all in German as far as I can see.

Maybe a silly question, but where do I find the scores in pdf? I can only access them in the interface the site has built, which isn't a pdf thing...

edit:

found it. only now I can't find a way to download an entire score in one go. for example, in the messiah reorchestration, i'd have to download every number individually *-)

Yeah there is no option to download it.

Not a big problem really.

awesome place, just looking at some of the string quartets, thanks for the link

there is an option to change the score to pdf.

from there you can save it

(this is an amazing site... I don't even like mozart that much... now why didn't they do this for Handel's 200th anniversary)...

Thanks for the site info!

"there is an option to change the score to pdf."

Ahh very nice - thanks!

where exactly?

Say I wanted the PDF to the first mozart piano concerto...

I'd go into the site, open up series 5, go to the table of contents for the first set of piano concertos. I could normally click the page #s I wanted to go to, but instead, there's a pdf button right next to it. That'll get you your pdfs.
