Ann thank you very much for those articles. LVB's decision to make the transcription is something of which I was not aware.

Ann we've had a spate of cold weather here. I went to find an old scarf and the manuscript was tucked in amongst ancient clothing.
Or. I googled "Beethoven Manuscripts" and it jumped right out at me.

I like the first version of the discovery the best, but I understand some of the world has a hankering after facts. If you are of that number please accept the second version.

The key signature is G major Anne, but don't be fooled by that. I love Beethoven in this period - so obscure and subtle. What I admire most about his mind though is that, apparently, he didn't give a rat's rear end if anyone "got it" or not. That's intellectual integrity.
