Digital Archival Research

This is a follow up to my post concerning the Wranitzky website. In that post I mentioned how the webmaster has graciously agreed to send me his scorings of Wranitzky's symphonies, resulting in fewer libraries I will need to visit and easily obtaining the music of one of my composers. Well, he passed along a note to me reporting that the Royal Library in Denmark has made their archives of Wranitzky's published symphonies available online, and for free download in PDF format! These are the actual printed parts you would see in the library or would receive as microfilm if you purchased them. As I said about the Wranitzky website, perhaps this is the next great thing to come in musicological research.
