QUICK TIP: use a keyword search:

If the piece is a form of music (etude, concerto, sonata, etc.), include the stem of the word with a ? in it (concert?, etud?, sonat?)
If the title is descriptive (Autumn Reflection, etc.), put in as many of the words that you are sure of
Include known instruments, key, opus nos., and the composer's name (see example for finding a trombone concerto -- note: search is not case sensitive)
Filter your results with the options of scores or audio

ADVANCED SEARCHING: use the Author/Composer (Search by title) option
