Notice:
I have moved the "Top Page Adress". New URL is http://piano1001.com/. Please click this and
enter the new Top Page. I fear that this moving "the top page adress" might cause "the bad links
(especially to the audio files) for a time. I am going to correct them as soon as possible.

As "piano1001" is written in "Japanese language system", the foreign visitors have not been able to read it(or even to see it). And I have made the "English Page" with "ISO-8859-1 language system" which has wide compatibilities. Now, I hope that  "piano1001" is available without the distinction of "language".

 You can download and save them in your PC with no limitations.
 You can use them free, but please do not use them for commercial business.
 The difficulty level to play is indicated as;
:elementary / :intermediate 1 / :intermediate 2 / :advanced  / :professional?
 All pieces have their "midi files" (except a few pieces which have "score files" only).
 The existing "score files" are about 3/4 of all pieces, though  I will add more score files in future.
 There are not so many "audio files" because of their file sizes being too large.

[The specifications of the musical contents]
 Midi files
Standard midi file fomat 0, Yamaha XG format(GM compatible).
For midi-playing, I recommend to use "YMAHA Clavinova", because I have originally played the pieces on this instrument, and, as you know, "Midi" has poor compatibilities on different instruments. Providing that you have not this one, you would  better use the Audio files . 

 Audio files
WMA(windows media audio) or MP3(mpeg 3) format.
  WMA=44.1khz /Stereo/64kbps or 96kbps.
  MP3=22.05khz/Stereo/80kbps
 File size=500KB to 4MB
"Windows Media Player" is able to play both WMA and MP3.

 Score files
Adobe PDF format. Acrobat Reader is needed for printing them.

[The Copyrights]
 composers:
The composers whose works are in this web site are enough old that the "Copyrights of Composing"
have not existed. But some pieces are my original works(composing or arranging), these copyrights belong to me.

 Scores & the others:
The copyrights of the "score files" & "playing files(midi, audio)" belong to me.
