IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library
Here's a sample:

What is IMSLP?

IMSLP stands for International Music Score Library Project and started on February 16, 2006. It is a project for the creation of a virtual library of public domain music scores based on the wiki principle; it is also more than that. Users can exchange musical ideas through the site, submit their own compositions, or listen to other people's composition; this makes IMSLP an ever-growing musical community of music lovers for music lovers.

Is IMSLP legal?
Quote:
Yes. As the IMSLP servers are physically hosted in Canada, IMSLP has to follow Canadian copyright law. There is also a legally unaffiliated US-located server that can only be contributed to by admins and offers out-of-copyright files in the US only. All scores submitted to IMSLP either belong to the public domain, or permission has been granted by the copyright holder to host them here. The copyright status of every file is marked, and it is clearly indicated if it is not legal to download a file in the EU.
Note that files under copyright in both the US and the EU are blocked from access because the legal entity that owns IMSLP is located in the US. Files under copyright in the US but public domain in Canada and the EU are legally available through the unaffiliated EU server.
