| Note | "This square page is from a sketchbook and represents the left-hand half of an oblong page, and of course the verso, with little music on it but signed attestations, is the right-hand half of an oblong page. The recto is concerned with sketches for op. 118 (they are hard to make sense of, since only the left half of each musical line is present; but the passage on staves 6 and 7 is a version of bars 33-35 of the published work). These sketches extend on to the verso, but apparently end at the top two staves (the incomplete word with the beginning cut off, is "Vollendet", the last word of op. 118. Then Beethoven begins a theme for a sonata, "poco adagio", 2/4 time, A major. The continuation of this theme, which would presumably go on to the beginning of the next two lines, is of course lost."--Letter from Alan Tyson (April 12, 1968) inserted in the Catalogue of the Memorial Library of Music, 1950. |
