Technical information for downloaders

All the files I post here will be available through Rapidshare. Since they impose a restriction on the size of the files that are shared, documents larger than 99mb will be fragmented. That means you will need to download all the segments and proceed to join them before you can really enjoy the content of the document.

To split the files I use Hjsplit, free software you can download here:

Introduzione e allegro.

I'm a classical music enthusiast. I profoundly enjoy every facet of the genre that has inadequately been called "academic music", and preferences in this sense have rendered me a collector: I have managed to accumulate an important number of recordings, in both audio and video format, so I created this blog with the intention of sharing a part of them here.

I will make an effort to keep this place in full legal shape. So you will not find download links for DG, EMI, DECCA and other manufacturers dvds; in general terms, I will not post any material that is protected by copyright laws.
