Sources

The scores and performance audio files are obtained from MuseScore.com and YouTube respectively. Downloadasaur was used to obtain audio files from YouTube.

The URLs to the original source can be obtained by using the following URL format:

https://bit.ly/qualscofo-(musescore|youtube)-<GROUP_ID>-<PIECE_ID_PREDASH>

<PIECE_ID_PREDASH> denotes the Piece ID characters prior to the first occuring dash (-).

For instance, the YouTube URL for the chaconne-arp piece in the violin group is

https://bit.ly/qualscofo-youtube-violin-chaconne

Note that the performance audio of the pieces prelude and fugue in the piano group are not obtained from YouTube but from the MAESTRO dataset.
