The IMSLP (International Music Score Library Project) contains hundreds of thousands of music scores in the public domain.

Thomas (ID: 0000000aa27610a9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/11/2022 It still works for me in December 2022! You only have to click "open PDF" to download some of the score. But it could be improved, if it could directly redirect to the pdf without the "warning" webpages

Gijs Leegwater (ID: 0000001a7b102fba) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/19/2018 doesn't work. However it did motivate me to find another workaround (in Chrome, something similar should work in other browsers) Open the Inspector, search for "pdf" and you'll see the URL in the source code. Double-click to select. Copy. Ctrl/Cmd-L to select address bar. Paste. Enter. The challenge is to do this all in less than 15 seconds so it actually makes a difference :D
