So here’s StudyScores.com.
The idea is that, while Amazon.com and SheetMusicPlus may each have a pretty good selection, it’s pretty hard to find anything at either site unless you already know what you want. You have to sift through all the easy piano stuff and ColdPlay anthologies, etc.
StudyScores.com is organized around finding scores by composer, genre or time period. It’s basically Amazon’s catalog, so it’s somewhat limited, and there’s crazy stuff like putting the Mozart Requiem in the “Opera” bucket, and Sondheim‘s Into the Woods under “Orchestra“, but it’s the cleanest I’ve seen so far as far as browsing scores online.
There are also sections for other books on music as well as accessories, like metronomes, etc. Pretty handy, actually. On Amazon, if I wanted, say, books on the Kodály Method, I’d have to sift through a lot of CDs and other search results. Here, you just search Kodály under “Books on Music” et voilà.
Lots of dirt-cheap Dover scores. Check it out.
