View source for Scores

When a piece of music is to be performed repeatedly the same way, or performed by people who weren't the originators of the piece, it helps to have a score. In the history of objectifying music, scores were the currency until they were displaced by recordings. There are many types of [[musical notation|microtonal notation]], such as [[Sagittal_notation#Scores in Sagittal notation|Sagittal notation]], [[color notation]] and [[Ups and downs notation|ups and downs notation]].

== Historically significant microtonal scores ==
Check your local gigantic university library. If they don't have it, they could probably be persuaded to get it.

* [[Charles Ives]]'s ''Three Quarter Tone Pieces'' (1923-1924)
* [[Harry Partch]], all works
* [[Ben Johnston]], esp. string quartets
* [[Alois Hába]], esp. string quartets
* [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]], all microtonal works
* [[Easley Blackwood]], esp. ''Twelve Microtonal Etudes for Electronic Music Media'', op. 28
* publishings of [http://diapason.xentonic.org/ Diapason Press]
* this list is so obviously incomplete that you should help finish it.

== Links to microtonal scores, by composer ==
Please contribute to this list of scores that are available (i.e. downloadable). This is meant as a resource for performers interested in microtonal music. Feel free to make wiki pages for "notable" compositions; the wiki supports file attachments up to 10 MB each.
