June 30, 200718 yr I don't know if anybody's seen this: Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin: Beethoven Digital I found this a while ago. It's scans of the manuscript of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Sometimes I like comparing it to a published score. Kind of cool to look through it. The links to the right take you to the different movements, and the actual pictures come up in a pop-up window when you click the links in the middle.
June 30, 200718 yr Yeah, it's cool. Theres a kind of beauty to them.:P It makes me more confident in my messy, scrawled scores aswell:P
June 30, 200718 yr Author It took me a while to get used to it...looking at actual published scores really helped.
July 16, 200718 yr Wow. I know this piece really well and I can barely make heads or tails of this copy. Props to Beethoven.
July 26, 200718 yr it sure is a mess but apparantly they could read it back then or nobody would've played it...
