About this piece

A prelude Beethoven wrote as a teenager in 1787, complete, in F minor, written in 3/2 with the half note as the beat.

Why it is free to use

Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, more than 70 years ago. The notes come from the Mutopia Project's typesetting, taken from the source “Breitkopf & Hartel (1862-1865)” (Mutopia piece 939, licence: Public Domain); we converted them to MusicXML and checked them against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note.

About this score

This is the complete piece, not an excerpt. The notes were converted from the Mutopia Project's public-domain typesetting of Prelude in F minor, WoO 55 (piece 939, typeset from the source “Breitkopf & Hartel (1862-1865)”; licence: Public Domain) and checked against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note (repeats included). The score is the same music in a different file format; we dedicate our conversion to the public domain (CC0 1.0). Mutopia Project page
