    An archive of everything the NY Phil has played in their entire history.  It has scores marked by Bernstein, Walter, Barenboim, Mehta, etc.
    Most importantly, it has parts to every piece they've ever played, marked by the musicians, specifically, string players and their bowings.  A terrific resource for the development of our musicians.
