Revision as of 18:25, 25 July 2023

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 microtonal notation, such as Sagittal notation, color notation and 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.

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.
