Biamonti 816 – 29 Bars for a Movement in Barcarolle Style. February – August 1825 (Deroda, page 93)

On page 48 of the De Roda Skizzenbuch, there appears a kind of barcarolle in G minor. At the end of it, some pen doodles and flourishes appear, followed immediately after the final bar by the word “Gut” (“Good”). The musical notation is by Beethoven; the word “gut” does not appear to be in his handwriting.

You can listen to it on the Beethoven Music Research Center website, in both the piano version and the string quartet version, arranged by Graziano Denini.

Biamonti 816 is part of the Research Becomes Art project.
