Would anyone have access to the first page of the Clarinet part for Beethoven's Coriolanus Overture, published by Breitkopf & Hartel? It appears to have been corrupted when uploaded to: http://imslp.org/wiki/Coriolanus_Overtu ... udwig_van) . Many thanks!

No problems with the file, just tried it.

Just make sure you are using a recent version of Acrobat Reader to open it, the first page displays with inverted colours on Apples Preview and is blank in Acrobat 5.

Isn't that in itself a "problem with the file," albeit minor? Is it a hard thing to fix?

Apple's Preview program is just not the standard program to open pdf files, and there are quite a number of files on imslp that have one or the other problem if opened in preview - blank pages etc, - this issue has come up several times in the past year.
It may be caused by a mixture of monochrome and greyscale pages in one multipage file.
To fix, you would have to split the file into individual pages, open with an image-processing program like photoshop and then recompile as pdf. Actually my old Acrobat 5 and Photoshop 7 also have problems with this page.
Since Acrobat Reader 9 is free to download, this seems to be unnecessary.
But maybe I should insert a note in the file format page.

Thanks for the tip. I upgraded from Acrobat Reader 7 to 9, and was able to view the pdf just fine!
