Free Charts

[Fotofavoloso]

Are there any legitimate sites where sheet music can be legally downloaded without infringing on any copyright laws. I am looking for the chart to "Spain" by Chick Corea.

Thanx,
Mark

There are sites that offer original sheet music out there like the Sibelius site. But I have had much more luck, when looking for solo arrangements, by purchasing compilations. For example the Abersold books that come with a sound track CD to play against are excellent. AND, I have gotten many for pennies on the dollar by shopping at used book stores. I also collect piano compilations because I can transcribe them to trios, quartets and such rather easily. Good luck.

Sure. Try this: http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mt ... m=campaign
Once you pay the $2.99 fee, it is perfectly legal to download the music.

If you meant download for free, then no. U.S. Copyright duration is the life of the author/composer plus 70 years. Since Chick Corea is still alive, it will be more than 70 years before it will pass into the public domain and be free to download.

Thanx for the info. It's well worth the $3.....seems like a great site.
