200_stockvault_10005_20080201 www.ClassicalGuitarNow.com has a fantastic collection of guitar sheet music links, as well as a customized Google search bar for other sheet music sources. Offerings range from baroque to transcriptions of classical guitar works. Here are a few of the links that have been culled, comprising the more popular works for the classical guitar genre:

Dirk's Guitar Page - offering one of the largest collections of free music for classical guitar.

Jan-Olof Eriksson, a Swedish guitarist, offers a collection of arrangements/transcriptions of classical works in PDF format.

Guitarist Stanley Yates provides a small collection of free downloadable scores.

The complete works of 18th century Barcelona Guitarist Fernando Sor can be found at http://fernandosor.free.fr/SorOpusAngl.html - Web Monkey Warning: the site is pretty ugly and the score scan quality is a bit iffy, but if you can deal with the poor eye candy, this looks to be a terrific free resource for classical guitarists.

The Best Site for Scholarly Edition of Mozart's Complete Works

The Neue Mozart-Ausgabe is by far the best online resource for all of Mozart's works in a scholarly edition. The site states that usage is restricted to "personal study, educational and classroom use".

The entire collection can be searched by category of work, a variety of KV. catalogue numbers (KV, KV6, KV6 Anh. A B or C...who in the world knew that so many librarians had so much time on their hands?), and even by key signature and preferred editor.

Here's a look at the Mozart Piano Trio in B-flat Major, KV. 502:

Pages can be viewed a portion at a time by scrolling down the sidebar, or by clicking the page number hyperlinks along the top. Beautiful typography makes viewing easy on the eyes and friendly for study. Kudos to the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum and The Packard Humanities Institute for making this treasure of musical art freely available to the world!
