*MUNICH, December 4, 2012*. GRIN.COM, german Online-Publisher of over
200.000 E-Books and textbooks, partners with the Open Goldberg
Variations project and releases new crowdfunded, crowdsourced, public
domain engraving of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations. GRIN.COM will
distribute the newly published musical score to the hundreds of music
lovers around the world who in 2011 funded the engraving via the website
Kickstarter.com. The new edition of the Bach’s Goldberg Variations was
made by Werner Schweer using the open source MuseScore notation
software. Volunteers from the internet were also called upon to assist
in the engraving effort by identifying mistakes and suggesting improvements.
The score is available as E-Book for free on Publisher´s website
