Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 is one of 11 classical pieces for advanced orchestra included in Richard Young's Comprehensive String Pedagogy & Curriculum. A portion of the proceeds of sales for all CSPC music goes to support free music education at The People's Music School.

This great work from Beethoven's "middle period" is one of the staples of the Classical repertoire. It is also a youth orchestra favorite. The key of A major is especially radiant because of the open A and E strings. But this also invites glaring intonation problems if they are not perfectly tuned. The players should therefore carefully check these strings (especially the violin E strings) before playing this symphony.
-Richard Young

Full program notes are included with the score. There are fingerings and bowings in all the string parts of every one of CSPC's pieces. These "cooked-in" technical solutions target the particular levels of the students. They are not just pragmatic but "musical."

Please note that due to a loss of source files, the PDF files of the music have been generated from scanned copies of printed parts. While every effort has been made to produce high quality parts, the limitations of scanning will result in some degradation of print quality.
