 * 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)
 * 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)
 * Adam, the page you suggested: 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)
