Find Scores
Scores are often the primary texts when studying music. Especially in classical music, but also to an extent in other genres, we rely on scores to best convey a composer's intentions. On this page, search for scores by notable composers and see recommended scores and anthologies. Visit the Music Performance Research Guide for advice finding scores in OneSearch and comparing editions.
How Scores are Organized

Hint: Enter the first part of a call number into OneSearch to see all items in a given section. Include AND trumpet to further narrow results.
