As we finish uploading the huge amount of music for 2 instruments we’ve been working on for the past couple of months, we’ve begun pulling the even larger amount of music for solo instruments that we’ll begin digitizing and posting next. Sibley has many interesting things in this part of the collection. Aside from scores for all the organists, pianists, and violinists out there, you’ll also be seeing public domain music for some instruments you might not have expected, including guitar, saxophone, and accordion.
Next Up: Music for Solo Instrument

Ladies and Gentlemen,
can you forward the following notice to the Sibley Music Library Reference Desk, please.
Recently, you submitted to the Digital Library the title “Six croquis pour piano, violon ou violoncelle…” by Charles Mélant. However, as far as I can see the piano score is missing. Could you check that.
I use the opportunity to express my gratitude for the fine work you are doing. I and my musician-collegues have had much pleasure playing the (often rare) music that you make available in such excellent quality. Thanks again!

As it turns out, what we’ve scanned is all that we have of this work. It’s possible that at some point someone may send us a scan of the missing part, and we’d gratefully include it, but at the moment we cannot identify anyone else who owns this work.
