Massive growth at www.load.cd: 75'000 individual scores available

Nov. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- What began as a small niche marketplace on the Internet eight years ago, Load.CD has gained a remarkable increase in popularity, with visitors, members and items offered and sold more than doubling over the last 12 months.
The music-platform hosts the online-shops of over 490 individual uploaders offering a huge range of sheet music to a steadily growing number of visitors. A great number of pieces is available for free download.
Most users appreciate the accuracy of the search, the speed and simplicity of the purchase process but also the personal support provided wherever needed and asked for. Many composers and arrangers offer their original material and invite interested performers to get in direct touch with them on-site, thus creating a vibrant exchange within the community.
Most scores are for Classical pieces, but here, too, the catalogue has developed much further and ranges now from Classical, Film & Musical, Jazz & Blues to Pop & Rock, Religious and World & Ethnic, divided into more than 90 subgenres. The contemporary section (http://www.load.cd/sheetmusic/contemporary/) alone lists 4800 original pieces, not including the hundreds of modern arrangements.
Besides looking for composers or titles, visitors can use very specific filters, for example narrowing their search for instrumentation or epochs or browse sections such as “educational” material or sheet music offered together with performing rights, to name only a few.
All scores are virus-checked, carefully indexed, many with sound-samples, a description and a preview. Payments are safe via credit card, PayPal or WebMoney. After successful completion of the purchase, the scores can be downloaded and printed for immediate use.
