On an online auction site, there is someone selling CDs of PDFs of solo music for all instruments, including oboe and cor anglais. I thiought it sounded like a good deal until I looked at the list of repertoire, and it all seemed vaguely familiar...
I realised it was the IMSLP list of solo repertoire, which, of course, is public domain and available free for download. I admire the seller's entrepreneurial skills, and also am well aware of the fact that all of this music is still for sale through various publishers, but there seems something slightly morally not quite right here. Aside from the issue of charging people for something that is freely available, many people have invested their own time free of charge to get this repertoire online.
It just struck a chord with me, but does anyone else feel the same?
