Our ambition is to make all of the world’s sheet music available through the Enote library. This will make it easy for any musician to access the scores they need, and benefit from our smart AI features that make study and practice more productive.
However, there is more written music in the world than any one person could play in a lifetime. Collecting, prioritizing and digitizing all of these pieces is a huge undertaking, so our team are working through our musical history systematically to reach our goal.
This article explains what music is currently in our library, what will be added next, and why some works are not yet available.
What’s in the library?
Our library contains the majority of Solo, Chamber, and Vocal works written between the baroque to late romantic era. Our team are now expanding our library to include all Orchestral, Stage and Choral repertoire, as well as contemporary classical and other modern genres.
You can explore our full library catalog online here.
When will you offer more modern works and genres?
The work of contemporary composers like Shostakovich or Philip Glass, modern genres like Jazz, Pop, and Rock and many popular arrangements are copyright protected. This means that licensing agreements with rights holders need to be in place before we can offer this content to Premium subscribers, and pay royalties accordingly.
Our first publisher agreements are now in place, and our team are hard at work enhancing this material and making it available in our library.^
If you can’t find a score that you need in our library yet, you can add any copies of pieces that you own for personal use using our Import feature.
What about rare works and other “hidden gems”?
We definitely plan to make rare and lesser-known works available through Enote. In fact, we’re particularly excited to do so, as we believe our advanced search filters will help musicians discover incredible pieces of music that have been buried by time.
However, please keep in mind that digitizing scores takes time and precision. Making our library truly comprehensive is a marathon rather than a sprint, but it’s one that we are determined to finish.
Can I add my own works to Enote?
Yes you can! Both Free and Premium users can use the Import feature to enhance our library with all the scores, arrangements, reference material, and other files they need. Learn more about how to add your own works to Enote here.
If you are a composer interested in distributing your music through Enote, we’re happy to say this is something we plan to support in the future. However, please remember that we are at an early stage of our journey, so this is still a way off.
To stay up to date with the latest announcements, please follow our social channels and keep an eye on our email updates.
Can I make repertoire requests?
Absolutely.
Our team are always keen to hear what repertoire you would like to see in our library. Just send an email to help@enote.com with suggested composers or pieces, and our musicology team will consider this in their prioritization.
^Be aware that copyright laws differ in some countries, which means a work may be in the public domain in one country, and copyright protected in another. Only Enote Premium subscribers will be able to open copyright-protected works in each region. Therefore Free users in some regions (such as the USA) will have access to a different number of works based on local copyright limitations.
