A bit different from " I am on a years overstay "    I have tried several times to find someone here in Los to read and play some sheet music I have.  What makes this special is that these few sheets of music were hand written in 1917 in an internment camp at Alexandra Palace. My grandfather was German but lived in England and the music got passed down from there. If anyone thinks they can read and play it but have doubts I can post a pic. of a bit of it on here.

A legible picture would be good please. 

I can read music. Post a scan.

Yep i can read piano music, treble and bass cleff, some pics would be good. Can then tell you how easy or difficult maybe to play.

Why piano music, is it not the same as for any instrument?

You have your staff, the five lines e g b d f, and the four spaces f a c e, your sharps and flats.

one sharp G, two sharps A etc, the same for any instrument.

That's what I was thinking, been a while now for me reading music and playing instruments but i never noticed any difference between tool's.

Now i have some spare time on my hand's this will lead me to my next thread.

Piano music has 2 staves, bass clef (bottom) for left hand and treble clef (top) for right hand,. Far too many notes to read all at once !

Yes its the same, though who knows what op's hand written music sheets are like

Agreed the problem could be the quality of the hand written music, would be good if we could just see a small extract we could assist.
