Yards There is no drawer or shelf in our home that isn't full to capacity with either piano, vocal or cello music. I have three full size filing cabinets, a bunch of trunks, several shelves, and an old legal filing case that my father refinished, all full of music. I have nearly 9 ft of opera scores alone. The piano music is probably about 1/4 of the whole amount. |

All stacked up, it would probably produce a stack about 4' high. |

How does one measure the amount of piano sheet music stored in one's head? ![]() I have a simple notebook of sheet music I'm working on...and also whatever's in my piano bench.

boxes and boxes. No idea. Maybe about 5 1/2 feet when stacked. Now, music text books - Even more. I have quite the growing collection of musicology, composition, and piano lit books. |

there's that....two music majors marry each other and you end up with bizarre things like...two Baker's Biographical Dictionaries of Music and Musicians. Two sets of Grove's encyclopedia. Two Grout! |

I don't have ONE of any! All three are on my wish list of the future! I can't imagine what my final music text book collection will amount to.

One music cabinet completely full. Two milk crates - full. Books about music, music dictionaries, etc. - they fill two complete shelves of a 4' long bookcase. |

I had tons as a kid - I was buying almost every week from an antiquaire. Most of the scores remained in Bucharest. From 1997 I have lots of boxes of printed scores, about 5GB as pdf on my computer , I pay 3$/month at pianostreet, I bought all they have at sheetmusicarchive. I also bought a spiral bounding machine so I make my own books. |

I clearly don't own enough. I am going to run out and buy filing cabinets full, to keep up with you people. |
