For the visitor

Endless hours of great classical music are only a few clicks away at Piano Society. Piano Society offers artists, amateurs and professionals alike, free space, bandwidth, and a personal biography page by which they are being presented. Today you find 196 pianists at Piano Society, who have uploaded more than 5,000 recordings by 244 different composers. For you, as a Piano Society visitor and listener, this means endless hours of listening for free, which we hope will bring you a lot of pleasure and joy.

With more than 100,000 unique visitors and over 500,000 downloads per month, the Piano Society is the largest resource of free classical piano recordings on the Internet. Since the start, more than 60,000,000 downloads of piano recordings have been made which proves the huge world-wide interest in classical music.

 

For the pianist

Piano Society also hosts an interactive forum for discussions about composers, pianists, technique, repertoire, composing and the instrument itself. The forum hosts the Audition Room where registered members can upload recordings to be evaluated by the Music Board. If a recording is accepted, it is put up on the actual site.

But for promoting pianists, the goal for Piano Society is to bring classical music to a broader audience, as today it is unfortunately neglected by the general public, and we try to wipe away the elitist attitude towards it. Classical music can be listened to by anyone no matter what preconceptions to music. Plus, the composers intended their music to be easily accessible, and so it is on this site. Please begin your download and enjoy!

A fun and exciting collaborative effort by Piano Society members

It started with a simple question: Is this possible? To elaborate - Can players who live thousands of miles apart play an ensemble piano piece together without leaving their respective homes? That is how a project between certain members of Piano Society started, and the answer is yes!

More fun and entertaining (long-distance) collaborations...

Once participating Piano Society members figured out how to edit together audio-only recordings, the next step was of course to see if video recordings could be edited together. Three such videos have been made currently and we invite you to watch them by following these links:

Granados - 2 Marchas Militares
Haydn, "Symphony of Farewell", Allegro assai
