A dataset of piano midi files organized by genres, sub-genres and artists.

ADL Piano MIDI

The ADL Piano MIDI is a dataset of 11,086 piano pieces from different genres. This dataset is based on the Lakh MIDI dataset, which is a collection on 45,129 unique MIDI files that have been matched to entries in the Million Song Dataset. Most pieces in the Lakh MIDI dataset have multiple instruments, so for each file we extracted only the tracks with instruments from the "Piano Family" (MIDI program numbers 1-8). This process generated a total of 9,021 unique piano MIDI files. Theses 9,021 files were them combined with other approximately 2,065 files scraped from publicly-available sources on the internet. All the files in the final collection were de-duped according to their MD5 checksum.

We plan to keep adding piano pieces to this dataset.
