- Chamber Music — mainly used by inexperienced musicians for non-matching standards of players, by teachers wishing to encourage ensemble playing for school use or by professionals who cannot obtain the music commercially as it is out of print.
This section tries to support the material used for Musica Viva (when appropriate repertoire is performed), the local chamber music competitions and the international chamber competition so that this facilitates the educational achievements of students and the local community.
Many ensembles ask to borrow the works to play through before they hear these performed at concerts.
The VML has an extensive card-based index of sheet music. Once you are in the Library this index is readily available to everyone to look up a work by a choice of Title, Composer, Arranger, etc. Over the years this index has gradually been typed up on the computer, and is now available in sections for you to print your own copy:
