Its objective is to make it easy for people to listen to the best tunes the classics have to offer, and to provide free access to the sheet music for these tunes.
It also boasts a popular melody search feature, with a virtual piano so you can play a theme with the mouse or a touch-screen, and the system will search for the tune in its database. If it finds it, it will name it, play it and display the music notation for it.
