Installation of our internet platform

In only one year we constructed our until this day very successful internet platform. We still count several thousand visitors every month. The reason for this is certainly the very high value of our links, the editions and the essays in the internet academy.

New editions and installation of an online player

There are a lot of new and very important editons plublished online. In a very short time we were able to make available most important sources of secular music which have not been available for decades.
Also, we have installed a player so that it is possible to listen to the music online.
