A weathered piece of sheet music with faded notes lies partially unfolded on a wooden surface, showing signs of age and wear with its yellowed edges and coffee-stained appearance.
A photograph of a piece of paper with musical staff lines and a few musical symbols, including a treble clef and a bass clef, with some handwritten markings. The paper appears to be on a surface with a colorful, textured border at the bottom edge.
A close-up photo of a piece of paper with musical notation, showing a treble clef and a few notes on the staff, with a slightly crumpled texture and the edge of another object partially visible on the left side.
A collection of weathered papers with handwritten notes and printed text is taped to a wall with graffiti. The papers appear to be partially covering each other, and some text is obscured. The visible handwritten notes are in different handwriting styles, and there is a red tape at the top right corner of the topmost paper.
A worn and stained piece of sheet music with empty staves is centered against a dark background with scattered blue paint splatters.
A textured collage featuring a variety of layered papers with printed text, musical notation, and floral patterns, some pieces torn or peeling, with a prominent word "STOP" in the center against a darkened backdrop. The overall color palette is a mix of earth tones with spots of blue and white.
A sheet of music paper with handwritten musical notes and annotations is placed on a tiled surface. The top of the sheet features the title "Der Lindenbaum" in cursive script, and there are various musical notations and dynamic markings throughout the staves. The bottom staves are blank, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner. The lighting suggests an indoor setting with a reflective surface to the right.
A photograph of a sheet of paper with various handwritten notes, musical notations, and scribbles in different colors of ink. Some text is legible, including phrases like "This is no place for the luxury of love," while other parts are in cursive or another language, making them harder to read. There are also some red ink stamps and blue pen markings scattered across the page.
A collage featuring musical notation on a sheet of paper with several empty staves, overlaid on a background that includes torn pages and fragments of text, with a hint of an urban scene at the top edge.
