Bravissimo is a practice logging app designed specifically for classical musicians who are tired of generic time-tracking apps that don't understand repertoire workflow. KEY FEATURES: - IMSLP Integration - Add pieces directly from IMSLP's catalog with all metadata (opus numbers, catalogue numbers, movements) automatically included. No more manual data entry. - Smart Search - Find pieces instantly by work name, nickname, movement, opus number, or composer. - Collections - Organize related pieces together (Beethoven Sonatas, Chopin Etudes, etc.) to keep your growing repertoire manageable. - Practice Sessions - Log sessions with notes about what you worked on, what clicked, or what needs attention. - Sheet Music Access - Download scores directly from IMSLP within the app. Built by a pianist frustrated with having to create subtasks for each movement and manually enter catalogue information just to track practice time. Bravissimo understands how classical musicians actually work.
