Data Files

Prokofiev’s Sketchbooks

These files contain machine-readable transcriptions of musical fragments from Prokofiev’s sketchbooks. Sketches were transcribed using standard music notation software (Sibelius and Musescore), then exported as MusicXML files. The MusicXML files were converted to MEI using Verovio’s MusicXML to MEI converter.

The Sketches page displays the MEI files as SVG images using the Verovio engraving toolkit, which also converts the MEI to a MIDI stream playable in the web browser.
