The Works of Mozart Online

The complete works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are now available online. In an attempt "to make Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's musical compositions widely and conveniently accessible to the public, for personal study, scholarly and educational use," the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum now provides access to the digitized version of the musical text and the critical commentary of the entire New Mozart Edition. With its 125 volumes, the New Mozart Edition contains the complete text of Mozart’s works based on the critical examination of all available sources. This monumental venture was begun in 1954 by the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum in cooperation with the Austrian cities of Augsburg, Salzburg and Vienna. The project documents Mozart’s productivity in some 24,000 pages of music. Also included are 8,000 pages of critical reports with commentary on the state of the sources and giving detailed information on the variants found in the main sources.

P.S. This is the last post of the semester. See you in January...
