This work is freely adapted from the Finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and all the material used is either suggested by, or has its counterpart in, Beethoven's score. It is hoped that, as well as providing a pleasant item for players of modest technique, it will also afford a practical introduction to Beethoven's masterpiece. The work can be performed by strings only, with or without piano, but will sound more effective with the addition of the wind parts, which may be used according to availability.
