The Petrucci Music Library work I have done is clearly very useful to many people all over the world wheras I am pretty sure I would produce little enlightening from the calculations I thought about doing. I really need to learn a modern computer language but I can't decide on which one!
The Petrucci Sheet Mucic is a Windows 8 app for viewing classical sheet music, comprising over 1.6 Million musical scores. Simply type in a composer or composition, and view sheet music sourced from the IMSLP Petrucci sheet music libraryThe data for the Petrucci App comes from around 1,600,000 OMR'ed sheets from some 160 thousand scores from the Petrucci Music Library, the Library of Congress and the Duke University Library. They contain almost 370 million notesThe Culture Tech Fund, in partnership with the Culture Company was funded by the Department of Culture Arts and Leisure. The grant funds innovative new projects which combine cultural and artistic output with digital technology.
The fund is open to any organisation or freelance professional based in Derry (county or city) or working with a Derry-based partner. The Petrucci Music Library would not have been possible without this funding, and thanks to this grant, this ambitious project has truly come to life.

Submitted on 8/26/2017 Review title of LennardDisappointing search engine. It does not work.I was so happy with the Android version, that when I saw this I immediately paid for it. Unfortunately, the search does not work for terms such as Rachmaninov, Rachmaninoff, Bach, or Sonata which is in absolute contrast to the amazing Android version that has given me hours of piano performance joy from rare pieces hard to find in print. I will not attempt to get my money back since the Android version was so good for me, but I strongly suggest everyone stay away from the Windows version and download the excellent Android IMSLP program. This program was not even worth one star.
Ottaviano Petrucci (born in on 18 June 1466 – died on 7 May 1539 in ) was an printer. His, a collection of printed in 1501, is commonly misidentified as the first book of printed from. Actually that distinction belongs to the Roman printer 's Missale Romanum of 1476. Nevertheless, Petrucci's later work was extraordinary for the complexity of his white mensural notation and the smallness of his font, and he did in fact print the first book of using movable type.
He also published numerous works by the most highly regarded composers of the, including. Contents.Life He was born in (Pesaro), and probably was educated at. Around 1490 he went to to learn the art of printing, and in 1498 he petitioned the Doge for the exclusive right to print music for the next 20 years. The right was very probably granted, since no examples of printed music from other Venetian printers are known before 1520. In 1501 he produced his first book of music, 96 chansons, as the (sometimes referred to as 'the Odhecaton'), which is the earliest known example of printed polyphonic music. In the following years he continued to refine his technique, producing new editions and reprints every few months until 1509, when his activity was interrupted by the war of the against; he departed the city for Fossombrone, where he resumed his activities as a printer.Fossombrone being within the papal states, Petrucci applied for a patent with the Pope for the exclusive right to print music, which was granted for several years; however the Pope rescinded the patent when Petrucci failed to produce keyboard music, granting it instead to one of Petrucci's competitors at Rome.
In 1516 papal troops ransacked Fossombrone, and Petrucci printed nothing for three years: most likely his equipment was destroyed. The competitor who took Petrucci's printing privilege away from him in Rome, also took over his printing business in Venice in 1520. During the 1520s Petrucci seems to have made his living managing a paper mill.In 1536 he returned to Venice at the request of the civic authorities there, and assisted them in printing Greek and Latin texts.Significance A total of 61 music publications by Petrucci are known.
By far the most fruitful period of his life for publishing music was the period between 1501 and 1509, during which he published the three volumes of chansons (the Odhecaton being the first), 16 books of, five books of, 11 anthologies of and six books of music for lute. The last publication is dated 1520.Petrucci was not the first music printer in Europe – a number of works with music were printed before 1500, with the first, the, printed about 1473, and works using movable type were printed beginning with Ulrich Han's Missale Romanum in 1476. He was, however, the first to print in quantity and the first to print music, and the quality of his printings was outstanding.Petrucci's technique required three impressions; each sheet of music would be run through the presses once for the, once for the music, and once for the words. Petrucci was highly successful at this enterprise; his publications are quite exact and beautifully executed. However, other printers using this method sometimes offset their prints slightly, which could result in notes being printed too high or too low on the staff – and thus jarringly incorrect for performers. Petrucci's method was soon superseded by the innovations attributed to, who developed and popularized the single-impression method of printing in 1528.The printing of music made possible the development of the first truly international musical style since the unification of in the 9th century. Printed music moved around Europe during the migration of composers from their home areas in the modern day Low Countries to, and elsewhere; the polyphonic style of the Franco-Flemish became an international language, with later regional variations.See also.Notes.
