djsell Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 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. Quote
Rafn Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 That's neat, but I can't make heads or tails out of any of it. Quote
bob_the_sane Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Yeah, it's cool. Theres a kind of beauty to them.:P It makes me more confident in my messy, scrawled scores aswell:P Quote
SineQuaNon Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Still though I don't know how anyone could read his handwriting. Quote
djsell Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 It took me a while to get used to it...looking at actual published scores really helped. Quote
Tumababa Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Wow. I know this piece really well and I can barely make heads or tails of this copy. Props to Beethoven. Quote
TheMagicFlute Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 it sure is a mess but apparantly they could read it back then or nobody would've played it... Quote
