Re:Classical? No seriously!Well, maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but my site provides sheet music "open sourced" for the public. I wouldn't call anything on the site "classical" as in Mozart or Haydn, but there's solo 'cello music, quintets and concerti. Many of the works have recordings, hopefully more will in the future.
I'll be re-opening the site May 1st. for now, you can go over and vote on which piece gets released first, or visit the old site.

GIMP is FREEYep, I hear all of the criticism of how much better PShop is, but for _this_ average, graphics-challenged user, the gimp is great. I don't have to borrow a copy of a copy of it from someone's friend, I don't have to drop hundreds on it. And I'm not saying that the graphics on my site are proof that GIMP is better, just that they're good enough for what I need.
But I do use finale and I've spent a lot on it over the years, but I'm a composer and I need the program, not an open source notation program.
I guess my point is, shut up and use what works. the GIMP will come along eventually, so will open source music notation programs, so will my website

Milton BabbittOk, this is interesting, but nothing new. Composers hava been using math and science for centuries in their music. Guillame Dufay used the architectural proportions of Brunelleschi's dome in Florence in the mensural changes in his Nuper rosarum flores in the 15th century. Polish composer Yannis Xenakis saught to explain the music of J.S. Bach with geomentry. American composer and mathmetician Milton Babbitt focused on algorithmic composition decades ago. And John Cage used the I Ching to randomize his music. The last two are often seen as extreme ways of composing music more objectively, though from different ideological perspectives.
Granted, no one is writing about my music anywhere

NOT perfect pitch!Perfect pitch is commonly used to describe absolute pitch:
an intriguing behavioral trait involved in music perception and is defined as the ability to recognize the pitch of a musical tone without an external reference pitch
For example, a professor at my beloved alma mater was able to identify a pitch by referring to its frequency in Hz! The phrase describes someone at a different end of the musical spectrum than the idiots at which this product is aimed.
