Welcome back!
PROMPT #389
For this week, I have chosen the title of Beethoven’s famous symphony to fire your imagination.
ODE TO JOY
Let the music set the mood for you.
Here is the link to Friedrich Schiller’s poem that inspired this legendary piece of music.
Once the mood is set, let it all flow out from your fingers on the keyboard.
There is no restriction on the length or format of the piece. There is no last date unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.
We will not include any posts that are found to be offensive, vulgar or hurt ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.
Create a post on your blog and copy-paste the link in the Comments. If you use a pingback, check to see if it has worked.

Thanks, Indira!

As an adult I learned to play that piece. But I didn’t keep up the lessons. My fingers and eyes didn’t want to work seperatedly – and reading the notes and knowing where to put my fingers… well it wasn’t a good fit for me. Nice history… thanks for that.
