Engraving not yet checked by hand. Time signature, key, bar count and the length of every single bar have been checked against the source by machine. Whether every slur and beam is also set the way it is usually set has not yet been reviewed by a musician.

About the piece

Beethoven never published it; it surfaced from his papers forty years after his death. Who »Elise« was is still unsettled — the manuscript is lost.

Public domain — both the work and the engraving. The setting comes from the Mutopia-Projekt, which marks its editions as public domain explicitly.
