I write here the numbers of the bars of the symphonies 7 and 8 by Beethoven.

I’ll write the barnumber of the top of the page in the Litolff edition; that’s the same edition used from Dover edition (I’ll also write the pages of the dover edition).

I think it can be useful for all students who are studying Beethovens Symphonies.
