Veröffentlichungen
des Beethoven-Hauses,
III/16. Bonn, 2003. Oblong, 32 x 23 cm, 2 vols, 56,
70 pp. Beautiful full-color halftone of the autograph fair copy, five
surviving sketches
(which all relate to the third movement), the first edition by Cappi
(in black & white), plus
a transcription of the sketch pages. The autograph, tidily written and
highly legible was
composed in 1801; although a fair copy, Beethoven made a great many
corrections and
alterations in the compositional fabric while writing out the score.
The autograph as it
comes down to us is missing the first and final leaves (including the
first 13 bars of the
opening movement), a state that was already recorded in 1830.
Commentary in Ger-Jap-Eng.
Wrappers in stiff dark blue paper with silver lettering and matching
slipcase. $125 (view our
complete Beethoven listing)
