This new feature is intended to provide a central place on-line where chamber music enthusiasts may locate databases of music they can use to discover new pieces or reacquaint themselves with more familiar works.
If you know of any databases or have your own that you are willing to have us put up on the site or add a link to, please contact ACMP at office

American Composer's Forum
Specializing in the music of our time, this new database enables the user to search by instrumentation, composer and keyword. Many are graded by difficulty. (Note: Information on non-contemporary composers may not have been input into the database. This will result in a result of "No Matches." Obviously this is not the case for, to mention one example, Ludwig van Beethoven.)

All works are less difficult (or of similar difficulty but shorter) than Haydn and Mozart piano trios.
