SCORE NOTE · READING
Ode to Joy
The first example in the studio. Eight measures of Beethoven’s melody in the right hand, with open fifths in the left. This page only introduces the score. Editing, playback, the keyboard, and delete are in the studio.
Original work
The original is the theme of the fourth movement of Symphony No. 9 (1824) by Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven died in 1827, and this melody is widely performed as public domain. The on-screen Korean title is 환희의 송가. The ABC title is Ode to Joy.
The arrangement on this site
The score in the app is the Ode to Joy example: 4/4, quarter-note unit, tempo 100, C major, eight measures on a grand staff. The left-hand [C,G,] and [G,,G,] chords are a simple practice accompaniment written for this setting. It does not follow a publisher’s fingering or pedal edition.

How to practice it
Open it in the studio, listen to the right-hand melody, then choose the LH voice and change one chord before saving. Delete stays disabled because this is a built-in example.
