About

Classical Music Index (CMI) is a database of classical music information.

CMI can express complex and detailed information: movements, arrangements, instrumentations, creator roles, and so on.
CMI allows complex queries: for example, you can find string quartets by female French composers.
CMI is editable: you can add entries about your compositions, your recordings, or yourself. Volunteer editors can fix or add details.
CMI supports music discovery. You can rate things, and you can find music you'll like based on other people's ratings.

To rate things, you must Create an account

Compositions	Musical works, and associated scores and recordings
People	Composers, performers, arrangers, etc.
Ensembles	Orchestras, choirs, chamber groups, etc.
Organizations	Publishers and concert sponsors
Locations	Cities, provinces, countries, continents
Instrumentations	Combinations of instruments
Concerts	Live performances, past and future
Venues	Concert locations

The CMI code is open source and is on Github. CMI includes data from IMSLP.

CMI is under development. The database may be reset, in which case items you add will be lost. Features based on ratings are simulated until we get a critical mass of ratings.
