Get yourself a peer to peer program, you can download anything you want. And no it wouldn't be pirating, most classical music has been in the public domain for a couple hundred years at least, according to the current laws.
Well, I sometimes hear pieces of classical music somewhere (or already know the melodies) but canīt identify them or their composers. Since I donīt consider myself an expert in classical music it is quite hard for me to find the right CDs. Of course I donīt have the time to test-play all CDs that might interest me in CD stores.
I once found a little website that offered wav. examples of the CDs they sold there, but they had only a small number of them - does anyone know something similar with a larger selection? Or other hints that are helpful?

Well, yes I thought of this too, but then I donīt know what it is before I dl-ed it. I have DSL, so it would be ok, but I probably still had to dl lots of stuff before finding the right things. I only want to know if thereīs a better way to get what you want

Since the recordings of classical music are usually under copywrite by the performers, it's still piracy.Originally posted by Willem

Nah, but seriously, often classical tunes are used in tv advertising, or in trailers for tv shows, and I think "damn, you know that melody, it is great!" - but since I donīt know title or composer Iīm unable to get it somehow....
Maybe I should bombard those tv stations with mails asking what music they use

I don't see how they could have any legal basis on that score (pun intended). About all they can lay claim to would be the artwork on the cover. Though I admit that I don't exactly know what the laws are in that regard. It's definitely a shady area.Originally posted by Boris Godunov

I love that song.

Give a bad description of it in rec.music.classical and you'll get a thousand good suggestions in return.
P2P is actually rather bad when it comes to finding classical tunes. Even if we discount the fact that a true classical audiophile would want a source that offers a selection of multiple conductors and performances for each piece, we are still stuck we the problem that you cannot find a FULL symphony or opera on a P2P source.
You can't find the full fifteen minute 3-track Moonlight Sonata or the 70 minute 4-track Beethoven's 9th or... You get my drift.
BTW, public libraries tend to have a collection of classical CDs up for loan. I recommend checking it out as an introduction.

I decided to being downloading a huge bunch of classical midi songs.
Ture - they aren't good , but
a) I have a good wave synth (Win Groove - search for it)
b) it gives you a good idea of the music
c) it's a small file - downloadable on 56K
d) there's partically no lack of classical midi files.

I had a b*tch of a time trying to get (I might have spelt these wrong as I don't have the sheet music in front of me...) Orlando di Lasso's "Bon jour, et puis quelles novelle?" about 500 or so years old. Unfortunately the version I got (and perhaps the only audio clip I'm ever gonna find) was quartet group singing only the first half of the song.I have the sheet music, I have a .midi I made, but I really want a full choral presentation.
I always loved that song; fun to sing (unless you're a baritone

Likely will have to pay for something like that. P2P programs are rife with the well-known warhorses, but anything lesser known is not usually there. Although I was lucky to find about a third of the Bruckner symphonies on Kazaa, so who knows?
BeBro, if you can carry a tune, record a snippet on a mic and post it. We'll see if anyone can recognize it.

The recordings are copywrited...look at the back of any classical CD, and you'll see the copywrite symbol. If a classical radio program plays such a CD, they have to pay royalties to the record company. Believe me, the legal basis is sound.Originally posted by Willem
