“…what many, not only in Italy, but elsewhere, have long attempted in vain.”
-Ottaviano dei Petrucci to the Duke of Venice 1498

Named after the famous printer of musical scores, Ottaviano dei Petrucci (18 June 1466 - May 1539), the Petrucci Project is about digitalizing the wealth of music in libraries and archives around the world which was never published, or is long out of print, virtually inaccessible to most musicians.

Musicologists, students, and institutions are already scanning or photographing printed musical material, and entering data for manuscripts too fragile for lending or photocopying. Already many works have been transcribed with several of the powerful programs now available for notating and editing music, including Finale,Score, and Sibelius.

Soundpost Publishing has already edited many previously unpublished works, now available in hard copies or in PDF format.  A partial list is below.  For a more complete list with prices, contact meadows_patrick@yahoo.co.uk.
Among other works, these are avalable: the Six Quintets by Padre Soler for organ or harpsichord and string quartet, now available fromSheetMusicNow , a Piano Trio by W.W. Gilchrist, the piano music and lieder by the late Mallorcan composers Jaume Mas Porcel and Bernardo Torrandell, a Te Deum for coro y orquesta del compositor mallorquin/catalan Pedro Tintorer, as well as other music, in score and parts.

Another recent project is the Grosses Stücke for 2 pianos by Franz Liszt, based on Songs without Words by Mendelssohn. The work is dated 1834, and was first performed that year by Chopin and Liszt.  This edition is based on the Manuscript at the Schiller-Goethe Archive in Weimar.

Alice Mary (White Meadows) Smith (1839-1884) wrote 4 piano quartets, of which I have engraved. Nº2 in E-flat, Nº 3 in D Major, and Nº 4 in G Minor.  If I had to characterize the music in a few words, I would have to agree with a quote in Cobbett´s Survey of Chamber Music: “Her forms were always clear and her ideas free from eccentricity; her sympathies were evidently with the Classic rather than the Romantic school. There is something of Mendelssohn in the piano part.”

In 2009 I finished Arthur Foote’s Concerto in G Minor for Violoncello and orchestra.
