[NewMusic] 20th century sheet music store

[Ron Lettuce]

My whole problem with ordering through the internet it that you can't go in and browse around, you need to know exactly what you want, and if someone hasn't recorded it and put it on napster, itunes or youtube, you're pretty much out of luck. What you "can" find recorded on the net is frequently the virtuoso level show-off pieces (which I have very little chance of learning to play in the next 30 years, let alone for next month...). whereas what I'm looking for is something intermediate in playing level that gets across the point...here's a 12 tone piece...etc...

It's been my experience that sheet music stores are sorely  
lacking. . . it's been decimated by the internet revolution, so the  
physical browsing days are pretty much over. . .  I buy stuff from  
The Magic Flute in Terra Linda- no guarantee as to what they have in  
terms of contemporary music,  but depending on who's working, they  
can be good for ordering. . . also if you're a music teacher you get  
a %10 discount - www.themagicflute.net

In general, I've found for contemporary music it's better to browse  
through the Berkeley music library, and then order online.  This site  
also has a fair amount of stuff:  www.music44.com  and is a little  
cheaper than sheetmusicplus, though sometimes by only a few cents. . .
