Werner Icking Music Archive
The Werner Icking Music Archive ( German Werner Icking Music Archive ; WIMA) is an offer of free sheet music on the Internet. It is one of the most extensive offers of this kind and contains mainly instrumental music from the field of serious music .
It was founded by Werner Icking (1943–2001), a mathematician at the GMD Research Center for Information Technology in Sankt Augustin , initially as the GMD Music Archive . After Werner Icking's accidental death on February 9, 2001, the offer was renamed Werner Icking Music Archive in his honor .
From 2007 to February 2010, it was run by Christian Mondrup on the servers of the Computer Science Department at Aarhus University . After that, it had to be temporarily suspended due to the high server load. It was brought back online in March 2010 in collaboration with a commercial Internet service provider based in Texas .
In August 2011 Christian Mondrup suggested that the complete database be integrated into the sister project International Music Score Library Project . The migration was completed in July 2012.
