(title will take you to the digital music site portal)
I have been waiting for such sites for a long time, and this can be the best source for any classical musicians, students and scholars.
The source material is from Baerenreiter, which is well known for critical urtext editions in the world.
I, personally own couple of Baerenreiter urtext editions of several composers.
(Each composers have critical editions from different publishers, and for Baerenreiter's I choose them especially Franz Schubert's works. and I know when it comes to Mozart, this edition can be one of the best source available for scholastic purpose to this day.Each publisher has strength for certain composers or purpose. Some editions/publishers are known for inexpensive editions but no critical notes were included, and cannot be a good source for scholastic purpose. Some, known for the quality of the prints and integrity. So we choose the edition fit particular purpose.)
Of course, the ones you seriously performing those compositions or learning, has to purchase printed edition, it is unavoidable despite the expense. However, learning chamber music or parts you do not play and/or to learn orchestral pieces, or to learn critical notes not available from other editions, this digital editions can be *god's gift* to us, starving musicians.
Mozart's music is one of the gift of all humanity has to offer. And this digital edition enable access to his composition to everyone.
(I wonder if they have Bach compositions... I have to check their link, later.)
