In Beethoven news

A new Beethoven autograph score was discovered in the basement of Palmer Seminary outside Philadelphia. It's a piano, four hands version of his Grosse Fugue. It's not a new piece of music, but it's a new book containing music written in Beethoven's own hand.

Comments

That's incredible...and so close to home! Palmer (which until quite recently was call Eastern Baptist) is part of an organization called Southeastern PA Theological Library Association which Westminster is a part of as well. I even speak to this Heather character (who made the discovery) even couple of months as I track down delinquent library patrons!

It's only fair that this manuscript be given to me.
