Ode to Joy

text/plain (9 lines)

I thought Beethoven did a lot of "poetic translation" on the Ode to Joy...
He couldn't make the Schiller work fit the music, so he translated the
poetry to fit his music.

At least I could never make the Schiller work fit the transcription I had
about 40 years ago.
