Musopen is an organization which creates, produces and disseminates Western classical music, via public domain recordings, sheet music and educational resources. It has been favorably compared to IMSLP and stands with ChoralWiki and the Wind Repertory Project as among the most prominent online music databases.
Founded by Aaron Dunn in 2006, the site operates out of Palo Alto, California as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It rose to prominence amid a viral crowdfunding Kickstarter campaign in 2010, which raised to record a wide variety of orchestral and chamber works. Other commissioning projects include the complete Beethoven piano sonatas and the complete works of Frédéric Chopin.
