My arrangement of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, from my first student recital
This is not the sort of arrangement a professional musician might come up with. It's rather simplistic, but remember, I'm a beginner, and so it has every reason to be so. At the same time, it's practical, absurdly easy to play, and fun.
This score is supplied in facsimile form, as two 300dpi, full-page black-and-white GIF files, each on its own web page.
Printed correctly, the pages should be quite clear. If they fail to print correctly from your browser, simply save the GIF images, and load them into any graphics program or word processor that can import GIF files, and print them from there. In my own tests, Netscape 3.01 for the Macintosh worked quite well, while Netscape 4.05 for Windows NT did not work well. Microsoft Word for Windows had no trouble printing the GIF files.
