From IMSLP
Welcome to the International Music Score Library Project! IMSLP attempts to create a virtual library containing all public domain musical scores, as well as scores from composers who are willing to share their music with the world without charge. You can read the full list of goals that IMSLP will try to achieve.
IMSLP also encourages the exchange of musical ideas, both in the form of musical works, and in the analysis of existing ones. Therefore, feel free to create/edit a page with your analysis of a particular piece (please use the "Discussion" link on the work page of that particular piece).

Contributing
IMSLP needs your help! Visit the Contributor Portal to learn about contributing to IMSLP. The IMSLP forums are open to anyone for discussions about IMSLP and music in general.
Contributing: You can contribute by simply participating in the growth of this wiki by sharing your knowledge in music with others. If you have old sheet music on your shelves, or public domain sheet music on your hard disk, consider sharing them with the rest of the world by uploading it to IMSLP! You can also help importing public domain scores from other websites. Please refer to the score contributing guide for details.
Projects: The aims of our Community Projects are to acquire collections of works from inactive archives, to identify their contents, and to preserve them for the future. As of the moment, one of the main projects of IMSLP is the sorting and uploading of the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe (complete works).
Other Tasks: There are several ways of helping IMSLP, apart from contributing scores. You can help e.g. with the website maintenance, translation of IMSLP, or support IMSLP financially.
This is just a short overview. You can find all the details about contributing in the Contributor Portal.
