Stravinsky again, 1927. Bass clef looks kind of sad, though.

Love this one. "Piano" is almost ready for font creation.
Calligraphic pens give the best results.

Arensky, wow!
I am wondering how it would look to create a font based on one of these, as Arensky, and use it in Finale/Sibelius...

[John Ruggero]

I agree, OCTO. So far, Arensky seems to be the winner. But one also notices that there is no correlation between the beauty of the handwriting and the quality of the music.

Or not.

I think John means the quality of notation practice, not beauty of lines and curves.
