Original – Page 12 (recto) of Ludwig van Beethoven's original Ninth Symphony manuscript.
Reason
High quality photo of an original manuscript. The 200th anniversary of this song's first performance is also coming up in May 7 (song was first performed in 7 May 1824), perhaps it can be POTD?

  • Comment Why Page 12? I'm certainly for promoting Beethoven's 9th Syphony , but it feels a very arbitrary choice of page. Why not, say, the opening. or the start of the Ode to Joy? I'd support this as part of a complete set, but, on its own.... Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.7% of all FPs. 12:53, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This was just the most widely used one, it appears in multiple articles and was the only page uploaded to commons. I am actually more willing to support a complete set if I knew how to download the high quality scans of the pages and then upload them to commons. – Howard🌽33 14:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Adam, the page you suggested: [1] is bland, it has very little musical notation on it. At small thumbnail sizes (say at 400px), the nom image looks more like sheet music. Bammesk (talk) 02:34, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
