I have just discovered that my alma mater (Monash University, Melbourne) is involved in setting up a music school in Kabul, Afghanistan.
After 30 years of Taliban rule (when music was banned), there is a great need to re-establish music and music education in the nation.

This is why IMSLP and similar organisations are so vital - these are the kinds of students who could not possibly afford to buy sheet music at market prices, and will rely on the public domain for their access to music scores.
Keep on collecting and scanning! (and counting down until July 1!)

“all great composers wrote music that could be described as ‘heavenly’; but others have to take you there. In Schubert’s music you hear the very first notes, and you know that you’re there already.” - Steven Isserlis
