Beethoven in Finale

Does anyone know where I could find Beethoven Symphony No. 1 in finale for download? I am also looking for Brahms 1, and Schubert 8 if possible. It would make my project easier if I could find these in Finale. Though, Beethoven 1 is more or less the priority

not in finale, but it does have a performance file and all the notation of the parts.

probably the brahms and whatever else you need is up there too.

Thanks, but I have this. I was actually looking for it in Finale so I can click a button for the harmonic analysis. I have a long way to go on all of this as there are a ton of pages. This is one of the basic things that needs to be done before my conducting lesson along with a slew of other things. Just looking for a way to make this easier. I started today and I am on page 16 of a million. If I can (as I am not a conducting major) I would like to spend time focusing on other aspects of it, but I may have to do the whole thing.

Sounds like cheating to me. There's far more value in analyzing it yourself and using your brain.

What might make the harmonic analysis faster is finding a piano reduction in your library, then perhaps checking your work in the full score as time permits.

You can download midi files from Classical Archives: MIDI
and then import them into Finale. It's quite tedious at first, but once you get the hang of it it's a pretty cool way to get things done.

Haha. It would be cheating if it were for a class. It is on the side conducting lesson I am doing because I want to learn about music from this person. It looks like I will be doing it all myself. I have finished the most of the Beethoven and now that spring break is over I wont have much time to do anymore.

Thanks for the idea though; I found a piano reduction of the Schubert so that looks like it will go easy when I get to it.
