I have always made a practice of purchasing music in which I am learning/performing, If I am not sure whether or not a particular piece is for my voice, I have the fortunate opportunity to go to my local library that houses thousands of books, scores, songs etc. that I can check out and study. My problem is that my accompanists insist on using photocopied music to work from. The binding on books these days are not "pianist-friendly" and constantly close on them. On one occasion, an accompanist (who I no longer work with), took my opera score, opened it at the middle, placed it face down on the floor and stepped on it, breaking the binding!!
