ÖNB Vienna starting a digital score collection

[kalliwoda]

Just noticed a new addition to the growing list of important libraries with digitization projects:
http://search.obvsg.at/primo_library/li ... do?vid=ONB
Österreichische Nationalbibliothek Wien has high resolution (300 dpi) color scans as jpg's only, but easy to save page per page...
I noticed First editions of Haydn (String quartets, Symphonies in complete parts) and Beethoven (Violin concerto parts), Schumann Scenes from Faust (complete score)
There are many more scans of newer editions, that are inaccessible because of copyright protection.

No browsing option yet, but one can search for a frequent word in the title ("für", "pour", "per").

I tried to visit the site and, under the page

http://search.obvsg.at/primo_library/li ... mode=Basic

there is indeed a list of 71 digital scores


However, when I try to access a single page and click on the "Link to digitales objekt", a new blank window appears, without any content ....

Did you succeed in finding a working page, with single digital pages that can be downloaded ?

A couple of weeks ago there was content in the separate window. Let's hope this is a temporary problem with their server.

The parts for Haydn Symphony No.10 are from this source
http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_Hob.I:10 ... dn,_Joseph)

And while looking around for a solution, I found the following better entry-point:

http://www.onb.ac.at/bibliothek/digitaler_lesesaal.htm

There you find a link "Musiknoten" that gets you to a complete list of today 128 digitized music prints,
and another link "Musikhandschriften" that gets you to a listing of 473 digitized music manuscripts.
Now the server has just to start working again...

I just received the following message from Vienna Library :
"yesterday we had a severe power blackout (in Vienna) which caused troubles with some of our servers. We are still working on the problem and hope that everything will work in the course of today."

Just downloaded the piano solo score of Beethoven's Wellingtons Sieg and uploaded to IMSLP
