This would take lifetimes to read.

http://lit.gfax.ch//

Lots of oud-related stuff in several languages.

The site was down for a long time, I don't know when it came back up.

Oh, no. It's gone again. Several of the books I've got already, but in the index is so much worthful stuff still. https://web.archive.org/web/20130630005010/http://lit.gfax.ch What a pity.

I have almost all the material that was available there except for the contents of the /sheet_music/ and /non-music/ directories. Let me know if interested in something.

This is ridicoulous, thank you so much, next few years of reading are secured, the amount og harmony, jazz & composition manuals, truely amazed, and only 10% through. Certain things like comping that i never had anything on, its great.

Jack_Campin - 4-21-2018 at 02:04 AM

It's down again.

John Erlich - 4-29-2018 at 09:46 AM

I downloaded and saved some of the books from that archive. If folks want something specific, let me know.

Jack_Campin - 4-29-2018 at 11:47 AM

Did you get the indexes?

I don't think so. There were "only" about a half-dozen or so books that were of interest to me.

KellyRain - 5-1-2018 at 09:48 PM

Were you able to get any of the texts on Persian music? Would be very interested if so.

bugaga - 5-1-2018 at 09:54 PM

Most of the Persian ones I got probably.

KellyRain - 5-2-2018 at 07:02 PM

Would love to see them if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks Dario!

In particular, folks - snag the INDEXES so we know what to ask for if it drops again.
