About Scores Reformed

Scores Reformed was founded in 2009 by Ann Miller and Steven Reading, both professional musicians and music engravers of long standing. After years of playing from often very poor quality parts, we were determined to improve the standard of printed music and so began our campaign to rid the orchestral world of the substandard copy which plagues many of our great orchestras’ libraries. We provide clear and accurate scores and parts of both operatic and orchestral works. Our desire is to build a partnership with players and orchestral librarians so that feedback and  improvements are positively encouraged for the benefit of all.

Our catalogue now numbers over 750 works, Orchestral works, Operatic Arias and Chamber Music. It is continually being added to and updated.
