Where We Started

 

da capo (It.), lit. 'from the head', ie go back again to the beginning of the piece.

 

Da Capo Music started off as a room in Cornstalk Bookshop by Patricia Baillie, who had a lively interest in music and showed all the symptoms of a committed Wagnerphile. After several years, Da Capo expanded into the premises next door to Cornstalk, where it has been for the last sixteen years. Da Capo has built up a reputation as the premier source of second-hand and out of print music books and sheet music in Australia.

 

Ten years ago, Da Capo made its first tentative steps onto the web and now offers over 11,000 items for sale to the world. In June of 2004, Patricia decided to broaden her horizons and handed the business on to her daughter, Meredith Baillie. Meredith brought new life to the shop and soon expanded her interests, opening a general second-hand bookshop, Sappho Books & Espresso Bar, also on Glebe Point Road. Sappho has itself become a Glebe institution as well as a home of great coffee.

 

As a consequence of the economic times that we live in, in July 2006 Da Capo Music finally moved in with its little sister Sappho Books, upstairs at 51 Glebe Point Road where it continues to provide the only source of second hand and out of print sheet music and music on books in the Sydney Metropolitan Area.
