Public Domain and Creative Commons Sheet Music

Sources: We sometimes use public domain and creative common licenses: (CC BY-NC 4.0). Facsimiles (FACS) here are period publications, that is, published in the time of the composer or thereabouts. These public domain scores are great for reference and sometimes plenty good enough to perform from. I often base my editions off of these as a starting point that is close to the composer or editor intentions.
