Free piano MIDI files
We've gathered 50 piano pieces everyone wants to play someday: Für Elise, Clair de Lune, Joplin rags, Chopin, Bach. Every MIDI file is a free download, no account, no catch, because these works belong to the public domain: their composers died more than 70 years ago and their music belongs to everyone.
One detail we care about: we didn't pile up files found just anywhere. Every MIDI comes from the Mutopia Project, a free music engraving effort, and we verified each one in Pianovera's own engine before publishing. Duration, note count, hand separation, pedal marks where the score has them: everything measured, nothing broken. And every page lets you preview the piece before you take it: a player right in the browser, plus the PDF sheet music if you read notation.

Frequently asked questions
Are these MIDI files really free?
Completely. All 50 pieces are public domain works, and every file comes from the Mutopia Project under a free license (public domain for most, Creative Commons for a few, it's written on each page). Download them, play them, use them in your videos.
Can I see and hear a piece before downloading?
Yes. Every page has a preview you can play right in the browser: the notes fall toward the keyboard, just like in Pianovera, using a lightweight version of the same piano sound. And if you read music, the PDF sheet music from the same engraving sits next to the MIDI file.
How do I open a .mid file?
A MIDI file holds no audio, only the notes: you need software to play them. In Pianovera you drop the file into the window and the notes fall toward the keyboard, ready to hear or to learn. Any sequencer or MIDI player works too.
Do they work with a MIDI keyboard?
Yes. These are standard MIDI files (format 0 or 1). Plug your keyboard into Pianovera, pick Wait mode, and the piece advances at whatever pace you play the right notes.
Why public domain pieces only?
Because it's clean: the composers died more than 70 years ago, their works belong to everyone. No grey areas, no surprise takedowns, and you can publish your covers without worrying about composition rights.
