To make this the best starting point for finding any information on as
many composers as possible, you can help in the following ways:
- If you have any information on one of the composers who is not
yet mentioned here, like his most important compositions, or a short
description of his or her life, you can send it to me, and I will
add it (mentioning your name!); or you can of course make your own Web
page, which I would then gladly link to my database.
- If you know of a composer, ancient or modern, which is not in my database:
send me as much information as you know, and I will add him or her to my list.
- If you think that some information in the database is incorrect, please
let me know what it is that is wrong, and how to correct it!
- If you know or have other Web pages about some of the composers
mentioned here, I would be glad to link them to this database.
- Any feedback would be helpful.
Please only send me more or less ready-to-use information, e.g.
no major editing needed.
Send a message to the Classical Composers Database.
