Beethoven.” Although the work was later reassigned to Op. 87 for cataloguing reasons, early editions and arrangements often appeared without an opus number or under Op. 29. The trio reflects Beethoven’s early Viennese style, possibly inspired by performances of similar works by the Teimer brothers, and circulated widely in arrangements for string trio and for piano and violin. With no surviving sketches, dating relies on paper studies and early testimonies. Op. 87 stands as one of Beethoven’s rare compositions featuring the English horn and reveals his youthful mastery of wind writing. - [Biamonti 235 – Sketch in G major (Landsberg 7, Page 84)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/biamonti235/) - Sketch in G major from Landsberg 7, possibly linked to No. 5 of the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus; single‑staff fragment with instrumentation note at the top. - [Biamonti 419 – March (Sketch) from the Fidelio Sketchbook (Page 205)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/biamonti419/) - Fragmentary march from the Fidelio Sketchbook, page 205 staves 3–4; cited by Nottebohm, with a four‑bar repeated phrase and an eight‑bar continuation in Beethoven’s rapid sketch hand. - [Anhang 02 – Six String Quartets](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/anhang_02/) - Catalogue entry for Anhang 02: the six string quartets attributed to Beethoven.

[Hess 067 – Sketches for Two German Dances in F Major and F Minor for Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess067/) - Hess 067 preserves two virtually performable sketches for German Dances in F major and F minor, composed around 1811–1812 and transmitted in the Bodmer Collection (SBH 639, SV 106). First published by Willy Hess in Supplemente zur Gesamtausgabe, Vol. IX (1965), the pieces appear in the “large Petter sketchbook” (Mh 59). According to A. Willem Holsbergen, the indication “Nr. 1 D.C.” at the end of the F minor dance shows that the two sketches form a single ternary structure, with the second dance functioning as a trio. Editorial repeat signs and a “seconda volta” were later added to clarify the intended form. The dances have been interpreted by Antonietta Cappelli within the project “Research Becomes Art.” - [Hess 066 – Second Version of the Allegretto in C Minor, WoO 53 (for Piano)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess066/) - Hess 066 presents Beethoven’s second version of the Allegretto in C minor, WoO 53, preserved in the Grasnick 25 manuscript in Berlin. Unpublished in the composer’s lifetime, this 164‑bar autograph—issued by Willy Hess in SBG IX (1965)—differs notably from the familiar WoO 53, especially in the trio’s second phrase and the coda. According to A. Willem Holsbergen, the D‑natural at bar 26 is likely an error for D‑flat, matching the parallel passage at bar 116. The musical materials on this page are curated by Antonietta Cappelli as part of the “Research Becomes Art” project. - [Hess 065 – Small Concert Finale for Piano in C Major (1820)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess065/) - Hess 065 is Beethoven’s Small Concert Finale in C major, a virtuosic piano reduction of the Presto from the finale of the Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 37. Composed in 1820 for Friedrich Starke’s Wiener Pianoforte-Schule (Part III, 1821), the piece later appeared in publications by Frimmel (1917), the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (1951–52), and Willy Hess (1965). This concise yet brilliant adaptation reveals Beethoven’s ability to translate orchestral textures into pianistic writing and forms part of the “Research Becomes Art” project curated by pianist Antonietta Cappelli. - [Hess 060 - Sketch for Piano in A major](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess060/) - Hess 060 is a playable piano sketch in A major preserved in the Beethoven-Haus Bonn (SBH 631, SV 88), located in the manuscript BH 114 immediately after the Allemande WoO 81. Also listed as Biamonti 267, the piece belongs to the Vienna Papers pre‑Grasnick 1 and is linked—through format, watermark, and ruling—to the Kafka Sketchbook and the Miscellanea Fishhof. Faithfully transcribed by Arnold Schmitz, the sketch features Beethoven’s annotation “cal‑lando” at the close and displays small notational peculiarities, such as the missing repetitions at measure 6. It appears alongside WoO 81, WoO 212, WoO 213, Bagatelles Hess 60, Biamonti 269 and 277, and numerous related sketches. - [Hess 059 – Piano Exercise in C Major (circa 1782–1793)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess059/) - Hess 059 is an early piano exercise by Beethoven, discussed by Gustav Nottebohm and broadly dated between 1782 and 1793. The short study, preserved with annotations such as “Zur Übung der Faust,” reflects Beethoven’s pedagogical focus on wrist flexibility, hand cohesion, and strict legato—traits that bridge his Bonn training and the emerging virtuosity of his early Vienna years. Later included by Willy Hess in the 1965 Supplemente, the exercise forms part of Beethoven’s evolving technical vocabulary and has been revived in performance through the “Research Becomes Art” project by pianist Antonietta Cappelli. - [Hess 058 – Two Piano Exercises and a Klavierübung in B‑Flat Major (circa 1790–1800)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess058/) - Hess 058 gathers two early piano exercises by Beethoven—described by Nottebohm and dated broadly between 1782 and 1793—and a more developed Klavierübung in B‑flat major, composed around 1790–1800. The first exercise bears the annotation “Zur Uebung der Faust,” while the second reads “Die Hand so sehr möglich zusammen gehalten” and “Auf das strengste Ligato.” The Klavierübung, preserved among sketches for larger works and published by Nottebohm and later by Hess, may represent the beginning of a theme with variations.

Willem Holsbergen has identified additional material, and the pieces have been revived in performance by pianist Antonietta Cappelli as part of the “Research Becomes Art” project. - [Hess 057 – Bagatelle in C Major for Piano (Fragment, 1824)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess057/) - Hess 057 is a fragmentary Bagatelle in C major for piano, composed around May–June 1824 and preserved in the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna (A 50). First noted by Nottebohm and later included by Willy Hess in the 1965 Supplemente, the 33‑bar sketch reflects Beethoven’s late style and is closely related to the creative process behind the Six Bagatelles Op. 126. Recent scholarship and performances, including those by Antonietta Cappelli, highlight its expressive coherence and significance within Beethoven’s final piano works. - [WoO 65 - 24 Variations in D major on the theme “Venni amore” by Righini – a enigma solved](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess055/) - Hess 055 identifies the original 1791 edition of Beethoven’s 24 Variations in D major on “Venni amore” by Vincenzo Righini, long believed lost until a copy was rediscovered in 1984 in The Hague. Published by Schott of Mainz and dedicated to Countess Hatzfeld, this edition proves that the later Traeg print of 1802 is not a revised version but a simple reissue. The work, composed in Bonn in 1790–91, reveals Beethoven’s early command of variation technique and his encounter with the graceful performance - [Hess 054 - Variations on the theme "Freudvoll und leidvoll" by Karl Amenda.](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess054/) - Hess 054 refers to a set of variations on the theme “Freudvoll und leidvoll” reportedly composed by Beethoven at the request of his friend Karl Amenda. Known only through an anecdotal manuscript transmitted within the Amenda family and cited by Thayer, the work has never been located and may never have been written down beyond the single sheet mentioned by Deiters. No musical text survives, and the composition remains entirely lost. - [Hess 047 – Arrangement for Piano, Violin, and Cello of the String Trio Op. 3 in E‑Flat Major (Fragment)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess047/) - Hess 047 preserves Beethoven’s unfinished arrangement for piano, violin, and cello of the String Trio Op. 3 in E‑flat major. The autograph—now at the Beethoven‑Haus Bonn (SBH 713)—contains a complete first movement and 43 measures of the Andante, revealing Beethoven’s renewed interest in the Op. 3 material around 1806–1808, the same period as the Sonata Op. 64. First published by Wilhelm Altmann in 1920 and later in Hess’s Supplemente (1965), the work offers rare insight into Beethoven’s transcription practice and the evolution of the Serenade’s thematic material. - [Hess 044 - Adagio ma non troppo, for the same ensemble (mandolin and harpsichord).](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess044/) - Hess 044 presents Beethoven’s Adagio ma non troppo for mandolin and harpsichord, first published in 1938 by O. Bahlmann and later reissued by Karl Michael Komma in 1940. Closely related to WoO 43b, this version corresponds to the definitive text included in the Gesamtausgabe (Series 25, No. 296). The work belongs to Beethoven’s small but significant group of mandolin compositions, discussed extensively by Alexander Buchner in the Beethoven Jahrbuch (1957/58). - [Hess 039 Quintet in F major for strings (if existing, not available)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess039/) - Hess 039 refers to a lost String Quintet in F major attributed to Beethoven and mentioned only by Wilhelm von Lenz, who claimed the composer gifted the manuscript to Prince Nikolai Galitzin in 1826. No score or contemporary documentation survives, and the work remains unverified. Later scholarship, including Martin Staehelin’s study of Beethoven’s late chamber projects, has explored the possibility of an unfinished quintet from the final years, but its existence and content remain entirely speculative. - [Hess 038 – Transcription of Bach’s B‑Flat Minor Fugue (WTK I No. 22) for Two Violins, Viola, and Two Cellos](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess038/) - Hess 038 presents Beethoven’s transcription of Bach’s five‑voice Fugue in B‑flat minor from the Well‑Tempered Clavier I, arranged between 1801 and 1802 for two violins, viola, and two cellos. Preserved in the Berlin autograph Grasnick 14, the version expands Bach’s dense keyboard texture into a richly resonant string ensemble, revealing Beethoven’s deep study of contrapuntal technique during the early 1800s. First published in facsimile by Willy Hess in 1953, the transcription stands among Beethoven’s most substantial engagements with Bach’s fugues. - [Hess 037 – Transcription of Mozart’s Fugue for Two Pianos K. 426 (Copy by Beethoven; Misattributed as String Quartet Version)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess037/) - Hess 037 preserves Beethoven’s copy of Mozart’s Fugue in C minor for two pianos K. 426, long misidentified as a transcription for string quartet due to a reference by Otto Jahn. The manuscript—split between the Beethoven-Haus Bonn and the Robert Owen Lehman Collection in New York—reveals 36 small discrepancies from Mozart’s original, ranging from pen slips to subtle improvements. Although once linked to Mozart’s string version K. 546, the source is now recognized as Beethoven’s study copy, possibly made while working on his own fugue projects around 1801–1817. - [Hess 036 Transcription of a Händel Fugue for String Quartet](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess036/) - Hess 036 presents Beethoven’s transcription of the fugue from the Allegro moderato section of Handel’s Overture to Solomon HWV 67, arranged for string quartet and preserved in the autograph Grasnick 13 in Berlin. Likely composed between 1801 and 1817, the transcription omits the original oboe parts and introduces subtle rhythmic and contrapuntal adjustments. First reproduced in 1959 and later edited by Willy Hess, it offers insight into Beethoven’s engagement with Handel’s counterpoint and his evolving approach to linear texture. - [Hess 035 – Transcription of Bach’s B‑Minor Fugue (WTK I No. 24) for String Quartet (Fragment)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess035/) - Hess 035 preserves Beethoven’s fragmentary transcription of Bach’s B‑minor Fugue from the Well‑Tempered Clavier I (measures 1–20 and 28–32), written on a single autograph leaf held by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Long considered a hasty working copy, the manuscript shows numerous clef inconsistencies and small contrapuntal adjustments. Scholarly debate places its composition between late 1801 and 1817, with the dating informed by sketches on the same leaf related to Beethoven’s unfinished fugue for string quintet (Artaria 185a). - [Hess 034 – String Quartet in F Major after the Piano Sonata Op. 14 No. 1 (1801–1802)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess034/) - Hess 034 is Beethoven’s own transcription of the Piano Sonata in E major Op. 14 No. 1, reworked as a String Quartet in F major between 1801 and spring 1802 and dedicated to Baroness Josephine von Braun. First issued in parts by the Bureau d’arts et d’industrie in 1802, the work reflects Beethoven’s careful adaptation of pianistic writing to the expressive possibilities of a quartet, enriching textures, reshaping passages, and adjusting the key to suit string resonance. Later editions by Altmann and Hess further document its complex editorial history. - [Hess 032 – String Quartet in F Major (First Version of Op. 18 No. 1, 1799)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess032/) - Hess 032 presents the first version of Beethoven’s String Quartet in F major, later revised and published as Op. 18 No. 1. Dedicated to Karl Amenda and completed in June 1799, the autograph—preserved at the Beethoven-Haus Bonn—reveals Beethoven’s early conception of the quartet before substantial revisions made by 1801. First published in 1922 by Hans Wedig, this version offers invaluable insight into Beethoven’s evolving chamber style and his engagement with the Viennese quartet tradition shaped by Förster, Haydn, and Mozart. - [Hess 031 – Prelude and Fugue in C Major for Two Violins, Viola, and Cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess031/) - Hess 031 presents Beethoven’s Prelude and Fugue in C major for string quartet, composed during his studies with Johann Georg Albrechsberger. The autograph, preserved at the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, was first reproduced by Nottebohm and later published in full by Willy Hess in Nagels Musik-Archiv No. 186 (1955) and in the Supplemente zur Gesamtausgabe (1963). Earlier editions by Seyfried altered Beethoven’s text, whereas Nottebohm’s and Hess’s versions adhere closely to the original variants and developmental stages. - [Hess 030 – Prelude and Fugue in F Major for Two Violins, Viola, and Cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess030/) - Hess 030 presents Beethoven’s Prelude and Fugue in F major for string quartet, composed around 1794–1795 during his studies with Johann Georg Albrechsberger. Originally conceived as keyboard imitation exercises and later transcribed for strings, the work reveals Beethoven’s early mastery of contrapuntal writing. The autograph is preserved at the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, and the first modern edition appeared in Nagels Musik-Archiv No. 187 (1955), later reissued in Hess’s Supplemente zur Gesamtausgabe (1963). - [Hess 029 – Prelude and Fugue in E Minor for Two Violins and Cello (circa 1795)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess029/) - Hess 029 presents Beethoven’s Prelude and Fugue in E minor for two violins and cello, composed around 1795 during his studies with Johann Georg Albrechsberger. The autograph, preserved at the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, includes corrections attributed to Antonio Salieri and contains the opening of the Fugue, though the projected Presto ending is lost. First published in Nagels Musik-Archiv (1955) and later in Hess’s Supplemente zur Gesamtausgabe (1963), the work derives from imitation movements originally conceived for keyboard and reworked by Beethoven for this trio setting. - [Hess 028 Second Trio for the Scherzo of the String Trio in G major op. 9 no. 1](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess028/) - Hess 028 preserves Beethoven’s second Trio for the Scherzo of the String Trio in G major Op. 9 No. 1, composed between 1798 and 1800. First published by Arnold Schmitz in 1924 and later included by Willy Hess in the Supplemente zur Gesamtausgabe, the autograph—held at the Beethoven-Haus—reveals an alternative A-flat major Trio likely intended for a specific performance, replacing the reprise of the original Scherzo section. - [Hess 025 Trio in E-flat Major for Violin, Viola, and Cello, Op. 3 (First Version)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess025/) - Hess 025 refers to an early version of Beethoven’s Trio in E-flat major, later published in 1796 as Op. 3. Mentioned by William Gardiner and linked to Abbot Dobbeler’s departure from Bonn, the work survives through partial manuscripts in Washington and Paris. These sources, together with historical accounts and later transcriptions, illuminate the Trio’s complex genesis between Bonn and Beethoven’s early Viennese years. - [Hess 021 – Fragment of an Arrangement for Nine or Ten Instruments of the “Andante con Variazioni” from the Septet Op. 20](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess021/) - Hess 021 preserves two surviving fragments of an early arrangement of Beethoven’s “Andante con Variazioni” from the Septet Op. 20, transmitted through sources once owned by Napoleon III, Charles F. Tretbar, and Henry Ford. Studied by Holde, MacArdle, and later corrected by Schwager, the material reflects an attempt—possibly by Beethoven or by Bernhard Crusell—to adapt the Septet for a military-style wind ensemble of nine to eleven instruments, offering rare insight into the early dissemination and transformation of this celebrated work. - [Hess 016 – Original string introduction part for the Choral Fantasy Opus 80](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess016/) - Hess 016 preserves Beethoven’s original string introduction for the Choral Fantasy Op. 80, consisting of violin, viola, and double bass parts later omitted in favor of the piano-only prelude. The surviving manuscripts—held in Darmstadt, Frankfurt, and Bonn—reveal an early orchestral conception for the work’s opening and illuminate the complex genesis of the Fantasy between its 1808 premiere and the 1809 revision. - [Hess 14 – Concerto in B-flat major for piano and orchestra, Opus 19](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess014/) - Beethoven Hess 011, lost Beethoven works, Beethoven violin romance, Altmann Eulenburg edition, Steiner correspondence 1816, Beethoven price list 1822, WoO 5 fragments, Beethoven unidentified compositions, Beethoven violin and orchestra works - [Hess 11 – Romance for Violin (and Orchestra?) 1816. Unidentified](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess011/) - Hess 011 refers to a lost Romance for violin and orchestra mentioned by Altmann in the preface to the Eulenburg edition of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Allegedly offered to the publisher Steiner in 1816, the work is known only through documentary traces, including Beethoven’s own price list later dated to 1822. Scholars such as Prieger and Tyson have linked the reference to an unidentified slow movement, possibly related to the early Violin Concerto WoO 5. - [Hess 8 and 9 – Hess 8 WoO 19 March for Military Music (First version)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/hess008/) - Hess 008 preserves the earliest surviving version of Beethoven’s March in F major, originally titled “Marsch für die böhmische Landwehr” and later associated with Zapfenstreich No. 3.

Its three‑movement design unites fantasy, contrapuntal writing and a visionary theme‑and‑variations finale. - [Opus 108 - 25 "Schottische Lieder" for one or more voices, piano, violin, and cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus108/) - Pagina introduttiva dell' Opus 108 Schottische Lieder (Canzoni scozzesi) (25) per una o più voci, pianoforte, violino e violoncello Beethoven’s 25 Scottish Songs, Op. 108—composed between 1810 and 1818 for George Thomson—were published in London and Edinburgh in August 1818. The manuscripts are dispersed across Berlin, Wildegg and St. Petersburg. Built on traditional Scottish airs, the collection reflects Beethoven’s refined approach to folk‑song arrangement and his long, complex collaboration with Thomson. - [Opus 107 – Ten Varied Themes for Piano with Optional Flute or Violin](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus107/) - Beethoven’s Ten Varied Themes, Op. 107—composed between 1818 and early 1819 for George Thomson—were published in London in July 1819 and in a complete German edition by Simrock in 1820. The surviving manuscripts are divided between the British Museum and the Beethovenhaus. Each piece is based on a folk melody—Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Tyrolean or Russian—reflecting Beethoven’s refined approach to domestic music-making. - [Opus 106 – Piano Sonata in B-flat Major “Hammerklavier”](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus106/) - Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” Sonata, Op. 106—composed between late 1817 and March 1819 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolph—was published by Artaria in September 1819, with a parallel London edition soon after. The autograph is lost, but extensive sketches survive. One of Beethoven’s most monumental works, it unites classical architecture with visionary scale, culminating in the vast fugue of the finale. - [Opus 105 – Six Varied Themes for Piano with Optional Flute or Violin](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus105/) - Beethoven’s Six Varied Themes, Op. 105—composed between 1817 and early 1819 for George Thomson—were published in London and Edinburgh in mid‑1819, followed by a Viennese edition by Artaria. The autograph is preserved at the British Museum. Based on Scottish, Irish, Welsh and Austrian airs, the set reflects Beethoven’s lighter, accessible style for domestic music‑making. - [Opus 104 – Quintet in C Minor for Two Violins, Two Violas and Cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus104/) - Beethoven’s Quintet in C Minor, Op. 104—completed on 14 August 1817 and published by Artaria in 1819—is his own reworking of the Piano Trio Op. 1 No. 3. The surviving manuscript shows extensive revision, possibly over an earlier arrangement by Kaufmann. First performed in Vienna in December 1818, the quintet transforms the trio into a fully realized five‑part texture with significant structural and expressive alterations. - [Opus 103 – Octet in E-flat Major for Winds](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus103/) - Beethoven’s Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 103—composed in Bonn in 1792 and revised in Vienna in 1793—was published posthumously by Artaria in 1830. The autograph, preserved in Berlin, reflects early influences and possible supervision by Haydn. Originally written for the Elector’s wind ensemble, the work was later reworked as the String Quintet Op. 4. - [Opus 102 – Two Sonatas in C Major and D Major for Piano and Cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus102/) - Riedizione della pagina. Beethoven’s two Cello Sonatas, Op. 102—composed in summer 1815 for Countess Erdödy and cellist Joseph Linke—were published by Simrock in 1817. The autographs, preserved in Berlin, show a new, concise and experimental style marking Beethoven’s transition toward his late period. Both sonatas blend structural freedom, expressive intensity, and contrapuntal writing, culminating in fugue‑finales of striking originality. - [Opus 101 - Sonata in A major for Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus101/) - Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in A Major, Op. 101—composed in 1815–1816 and dedicated to Baroness Dorothea von Ertmann—was published by Steiner in January 1817. The autograph is preserved in Berlin, with sketches in the Scheide and Landsberg 10 notebooks. Its four movements mark the beginning of Beethoven’s late style, blending contrapuntal writing, expressive intimacy, and a visionary finale. - [Opus 100 - "Merkenstein", Lied for two voices and piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus100/) - Beethoven’s “Merkenstein”, Op. 100—composed in late 1814 or spring 1815 on a poem by Johann Baptist Rupprecht—was published by Steiner in September 1816. The autograph is lost, with sketches noted by Nottebohm. Developed after an earlier single‑voice version (WoO 144), the two‑voice setting repeats the same simple, folk‑like music across six stanzas. - [Opus 099 - "Der Mann von Wort" for voice and piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus099/) - Beethoven’s Lied “Der Mann von Wort”, Op. 99—composed in spring 1816 on a poem by Friedrich A. Kleinschmid—was published by Steiner in November 1816. The autograph is preserved in the Bodmer collection, with sketches in the Miller notebook. Six stanzas are set to the same simple motif, introduced with Beethoven’s instruction on dynamic nuance. - [Opus 098 – “An die ferne Geliebte” (Liederkreis) for Voice and Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus098/) - Beethoven’s “An die ferne Geliebte”, Op. 98—composed in April 1816 and dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz—was published by Steiner in October 1816. The autograph is preserved in Bonn, with sketches in the Miller notebook. Setting Alois Jeitteles’s poem cycle, it forms Beethoven’s only true song cycle, six linked Lieder conceived as an organic whole. Early corrections to the first edition were made by Beethoven himself. - [Opus 097 – “Archduke” Trio in B-flat Major for Piano, Violin and Cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus097/) - Beethoven’s “Archduke” Trio, Op. 97—composed between 1810 and March 1811 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolph—was published by Steiner in 1816. The autograph is preserved in Berlin, with sketches from 1810. Its expansive Allegro, luminous variations in the Andante, and brilliant rondo-finale mark one of Beethoven’s most mature and lyrical chamber works. - [Opus 096 - Sonata in G major for piano and violin](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus096/) - Beethoven’s Sonata in G Major for Piano and Violin, Op. 96—composed between autumn and December 1812 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolph—was first performed on 29 December 1812 by Rudolph and the French violinist Pierre Rode. Published by Steiner in Vienna in July 1816, with a parallel London edition by Birchall later that year, the work survives in an autograph preserved at the Pierpont Morgan Library. Sketches for the later movements appear at the end of the Petter sketchbook, while none are known for the first movement. Written with Rode’s restrained style in mind, the sonata departs from the brilliance of earlier works and has often been described as pastoral in character. Its four movements—an idyllic Allegro moderato, an expressive Adagio, a rustic Scherzo with lyrical Trio, and a humorous variation‑finale on a theme from Hiller’s operetta—reflect a refined, intimate, and imaginative late‑middle‑period style. The finale’s genesis, complicated by Rode’s preferences, is documented in Beethoven’s correspondence with Archduke Rudolph. The Viennese and London editions differ only slightly, likely due to corrections Beethoven made to Steiner’s proofs after sending the engraving model to Birchall. - [Opus 095 – String Quartet in F Minor “Serioso”](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus095/) - Beethoven’s String Quartet in F Minor, Op. 95—composed in Vienna in the summer and autumn of 1810 and dedicated to Nikolaus Zmeskall von Domanovecz—was published in parts by Steiner in December 1816. The autograph, preserved in the Austrian National Library, has been variously dated: while Brandenburg and Tyson proposed 1814 as the likely date of the surviving manuscript, Seow‑Chin P. Ong argues that it is the original 1810 score. Sketches contemporaneous with Egmont and the “Archduke” Trio are noted by Nottebohm. Marked “Quartetto serioso” in the manuscript, the work is among Beethoven’s most concentrated and austere creations, characterized by compressed thematic writing, stark contrasts, and a dramatic economy of means. The four movements—Allegro con brio, Allegretto ma non troppo, Allegro assai vivace ma serioso, and a Finale beginning with a Larghetto espressivo—unfold with restless intensity, culminating in a surprising, luminous Allegro in F major. Early performances are uncertain, though Schindler attributes one to the Schuppanzigh Quartet in 1814. The first edition required extensive corrections, many of which Beethoven demanded personally. Op. 95 stands as a pivotal, experimental work foreshadowing the radical language of the late quartets. - [Opus 094 – “An die Hoffnung”, Lied for Voice and Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus094/) - Beethoven’s “An die Hoffnung”, Op. 94—dedicated to Princess Caroline Kinsky and composed around spring 1815—was published in Vienna by Steiner in April 1816. The autograph is preserved at Harvard University, with sketches noted by Nottebohm. Revisiting verses from Tiedge’s Urania already set in Op. 32, Beethoven reshapes the poem into a more dramatic and philosophical meditation on doubt, hope, and spiritual affirmation. The Lied opens with a forceful recitative on “Ob ein Gott sei?”, followed by a through‑composed setting of the three stanzas previously treated in 1802, now entirely reimagined with new melodies, tonal shifts, and expressive contrasts. Early performances in 1816—by Franz Wild and by the Giannattasio del Rio sisters—attest to the work’s immediate impact. Op. 94 stands as Beethoven’s most expansive and introspective Lied, blending recitative, lyricism, and moral exhortation into a unified poetic vision. - [Opus 093 - Symphony No. 8 in F major](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus093/) - Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93—composed between the summer and October 1812 and published by Steiner in Vienna around Easter 1817—survives in an autograph preserved in Berlin, with sketches in the Petter sketchbook alongside those for the Seventh Symphony. First performed on 27 February 1814 at Beethoven’s Academy in the Great Redoutensaal, the symphony was initially received with less enthusiasm than its predecessor, though later recognized for its originality and wit. The work features an Allegretto scherzando inspired by metronomic rhythmic play, a Minuet recalling earlier symphonic traditions, and a Finale rich in caricatural gestures and sudden dynamic contrasts. Multiple compositional stages of the first movement’s ending survive, including the intermediate version Hess 1. Early editions were prepared by Steiner, with metronome markings later published in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung. Op. 93 stands as a compact yet inventive symphony, blending classical homage with Beethoven’s characteristic rhythmic vitality and humor. - [Opus 092 – Symphony No. 7 in A major](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus092/) - Riedizione della pagina: Opus 92 Sinfonia n. 7 in la maggiore Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92—composed between autumn 1811 and June 1812 and dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries—was published by Steiner in Vienna in 1816. The autograph is preserved in Berlin, with sketches in the Petter notebook alongside material for the Eighth Symphony. Premiered on 8 December 1813 at a charity concert organized by Maelzel, the symphony was immediately acclaimed, especially the Allegretto, which had to be repeated. Described by Wagner as “the apotheosis of dance,” the work elevates rhythm to the core of its expressive language, from the expansive Poco sostenuto–Vivace to the solemn Allegretto, the exuberant Presto, and the orgiastic final Allegro con brio. Early editions underwent extensive corrections supervised by Beethoven, who criticized the initial engraving for numerous errors. Op. 92 stands as one of Beethoven’s most radiant and rhythmically driven symphonic achievements. - [Opus 091 – “Wellington’s Victory, or the Battle of Vitoria” for Orchestra](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus091/) - Beethoven’s “Wellington’s Victory, or the Battle of Vitoria”, Op. 91—composed in 1813 and dedicated to the Prince Regent of England—was first conceived for Johann Nepomuk Maelzel’s mechanical instrument, the Panharmonicon, before being expanded into a full orchestral work. Published by Steiner in Vienna in 1816, the piece survives in an autograph preserved in Berlin, with sketches noted by Thayer–Riemann. Structured in two continuous sections—Battle and Victory Symphony—the work employs opposing orchestras, patriotic tunes (“Rule, Britannia!”, “Marlborough s’en va-t-en guerre”, and “God Save the King”), and detailed performance instructions for spatial layout, percussion effects, and simulated cannon fire. Premiered in December 1813 alongside the Seventh Symphony, Op. 91 became one of Beethoven’s most celebrated public successes, despite later disputes with Maelzel over performance rights. - [Opus 090 - Sonata in E minor for Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus090/) - Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in E Minor, Op. 90—composed between June and August 1814 and dedicated to Count Moritz von Lichnowsky—was published in Vienna by Steiner in 1815. The autograph, used as the engraving model, circulated between Archduke Rudolph and the publisher during the correction process, resulting in two identifiable phases of the first edition. Sketches follow those for the final version of Fidelio, and early commentary by Schindler links the sonata to a supposed love story of Lichnowsky, though this anecdote is contradicted by the Conversation Books. The first movement’s organic unity, derived in part from a Bagatelle theme, contrasts with the serene rondo of the second movement, whose melody recalls a Bonn song associated with Jeannette d’Honrath. Op. 90 marks a pivotal moment in Beethoven’s transition toward his late style. - [Opus 089 - Polonaise in C major for piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus089/) - Beethoven’s Polonaise in C Major, Op. 89—composed in December 1814 and dedicated to Empress Elisabeth Alexeievna of Russia—was published in Vienna by Mechetti in February 1815. Although the autograph is lost, sketches survive in the Mendelssohn 6 sketchbook, alongside drafts for the cantata Op. 136. Suggested by Beethoven’s friend Dr. Andrea Bertolini, the work blends brilliance, martial character, and expressive lyricism, echoing earlier examples in the Serenade Op. 8 and the Triple Concerto Op. 56. Created as a tribute to the Empress, who had generously supported Beethoven’s 1814 Academy, the Polonaise reflects both courtly ceremonial style and Beethoven’s improvisatory inspiration. - [Opus 088 – “Das Glück der Freundschaft”, Lied for Voice and Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus088/) - Beethoven’s Lied “Das Glück der Freundschaft”, Op. 88—composed in Vienna in the spring and summer of 1803 and first published by Loeschenkohl in October 1803—survives without its autograph, though an important sketch appears in the Eroica sketchbook. Reprinted the same year in Leipzig by Hoffmeister & Kühnel under the title “Lebensglück,” the song sets an anonymous German text later altered by publishers, prompting Ferdinand Ries to send Beethoven’s approved version to Simrock. Originally issued as a commemorative piece for St Teresa’s name day and printed on sunflower‑shaped green paper, Op. 88 reflects Beethoven’s early Viennese song style and his collaboration with contemporary publishers. The melody, simple and graceful, was compared by early commentators to “Ich liebe dich,” though considered less substantial. - [Opus 086 – Mass in C Major for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus086/) - Beethoven’s Mass in C Major, Op. 86—composed mainly in 1807 for Prince Nikolaus Esterházy and later dedicated to Prince Ferdinand Kinsky—was first performed in Eisenstadt on 13 September 1807 and published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1812. With autographs surviving only for the Kyrie and Gloria, and sketches preserved in Paris, the Mass marks Beethoven’s first large-scale sacred work. Its vivid treatment of the liturgical text, dramatic contrasts, expressive choral writing, and early experiments in color and structure anticipate the Missa solemnis. Despite mixed early reactions, Op. 86 stands today as a deeply personal and innovative contribution to the sacred repertoire. - [Opus 085 – “Christ on the Mount of Olives”, Oratorio for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus085/) - Beethoven’s oratorio “Christ on the Mount of Olives”, Op. 85—composed rapidly in March 1803 and premiered at the Theater an der Wien on 5 April 1803—was published in 1811 by Breitkopf & Härtel. With an autograph partly original and partly revised, preserved in Berlin, and sketches in the Wielhorsky and Eroica notebooks, the work reflects Beethoven’s dramatic, operatic approach to sacred narrative. Despite the composer’s later reservations about the libretto by Franz Xaver Huber, the oratorio enjoyed wide success during Beethoven’s lifetime, with numerous performances across German-speaking Europe. Its expressive introduction, fervent arias, vivid choruses, and triumphant final fugato reveal Beethoven’s early mastery of large-scale vocal writing. - [Opus 084 – “Egmont”, Incidental Music for Goethe’s Tragedy](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus084/) - Beethoven’s incidental music for Goethe’s tragedy Egmont, Op. 84—composed between October 1809 and mid‑June 1810—was first performed complete at the Burgtheater in Vienna on 15 June 1810. Published in separate parts by Breitkopf & Härtel between 1810 and 1812, the work includes the celebrated Overture, two songs for Clärchen, four entr’actes, a melodrama, the Death of Clärchen, and the triumphant Victory Symphony. With manuscripts preserved in Berlin and Wildegg and sketches documented by Kinsky and Nottebohm, Op. 84 stands as one of Beethoven’s most powerful dramatic creations, blending political resonance, theatrical immediacy, and symphonic depth. - [Opus 083 – Three Songs for Voice and Piano on Texts by Goethe](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus083/) - Beethoven’s Three Songs, Op. 83—composed in Vienna during the spring and summer of 1810 and dedicated to Princess Kinsky—were published by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig around November 1811. The autograph, dated 1810, is preserved at the Paris Conservatoire, while additional manuscripts and sketches appear in Landsberg 11 and in the Library of Congress. Setting poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the cycle includes “Wonne der Wehmut,” “Sehnsucht,” and “Mit einem gemalten Band,” each reflecting Beethoven’s nuanced response to Goethe’s lyricism. Early accounts describe Beethoven performing Nos. 1 and 2 for Bettina von Arnim in May 1810. Op. 83 stands as a refined example of Beethoven’s middle‑period Lied style. - [Opus 082 – Four Ariettes and a Duet for Voice and Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus082/) - Beethoven’s Four Ariettes and a Duet, Op. 82—composed in Vienna in 1809 and published in early 1811 by Clementi in London and by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig—set Italian texts by Pietro Metastasio (Nos. 2–5) and an anonymous poet (No. 1). With an autograph of No. 4 dated 1809 and sketches likely from the same period, the collection reflects Beethoven’s engagement with Italian vocal style during his collaboration with Muzio Clementi. The English editions show greater editorial refinement, while the Leipzig printing remains closer to the autograph sources. These works reveal Beethoven’s lyrical, melodramatic, and comic writing for the voice at the height of his middle period. - [Opus 081b – Sextet in E-flat Major for Two Horns, Two Violins, Viola and Cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus081b/) - Beethoven’s Sextet in E-flat Major, Op. 81b—composed around 1794–1795 and published by Simrock in Bonn in 1810—survives without its original autograph, though a revised copy is preserved in the Beethovenhaus (Bodmer Collection). Sketches identified by Nottebohm appear alongside drafts for “Seufzer eines Ungeliebten.” The two horns play a prominent expressive role in the Allegro and Adagio, while the Rondo recalls the character of the Septet’s Scherzo. Early arrangements for string quintet and piano trio circulated shortly after publication, reflecting the work’s popularity in Beethoven’s early Viennese years. - [Opus 081a – Sonata in B-flat Major for Piano (“Les Adieux”)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus081a/) - Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, Op. 81a—known as “Les Adieux”—was composed between 1809 and 1810 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolf. Published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1811, the sonata reflects the political turmoil of Napoleon’s occupation of Vienna. Its three movements, titled “Lebewohl,” “Abwesenheit,” and “Wiedersehen,” form a narrative arc of farewell, absence, and joyful reunion. With an autograph preserved in Berlin and sketches in the Landsberg 6 manuscript, Op. 81a stands as one of Beethoven’s most personal and programmatic piano works. - [Opus 080 – Choral Fantasy in C Minor for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus080/) - Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy in C Minor, Op. 80—composed in December 1808 and completed in 1809—was first performed at the Theater an der Wien with the composer at the piano. Dedicated to King Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria and published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1811, the work combines an improvisatory piano introduction, orchestral variations on the 1794–95 song “Gegenliebe,” and a concluding choral section with text by Christoph Kuffner. With sketches preserved at the Beethoven-Haus and a complex genesis tied to the legendary 1808 Akademie, Op. 80 stands as a precursor to the Ninth Symphony in its fusion of instrumental and vocal forces. - [Opus 079 – Sonata in G Major for Piano (“Sonatina”)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus079/) - Beethoven’s Sonata in G Major, Op. 79—composed in 1809 and published in 1810 by Clementi in London and by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig—survives in a fair-copy autograph preserved in the Bodmer Collection. Early sketches, including one titled “Sonata facile, in C major,” appear in the Landsberg 5 manuscript. Known for its light, Allemande‑like Presto alla tedesca, a lyrical Andante espressivo, and a simple Rondo derived from Beethoven’s 1790–91 Ritterballett, the work reflects Beethoven’s concise, playful middle‑period style and the publication agreements with Muzio Clementi. - [Opus 078 – Piano Sonata in F-sharp Major](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus078/) - Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in F-sharp Major, Op. 78—composed in 1809 and dedicated to Therese Brunsvik—was published in 1810 by Clementi in London and by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig. With the autograph preserved in the Bodmer Collection and no surviving sketches, the sonata reveals an intimate, lyrical character that Beethoven himself valued highly. Its brief Adagio introduction leads into a tender Allegro ma non troppo, followed by a concise and spirited Allegro vivace. Often overshadowed by more dramatic works, Op. 78 stands as a refined, inward masterpiece of Beethoven’s middle period. - [Opus 077 - Fantasia in G minor for piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus077/) - Beethoven’s Fantasia in G Minor, Op. 77—composed in 1809 and dedicated to Count Franz Brunsvik—was published in 1810 by Clementi in London and by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig. With the autograph preserved in the Beethovenhaus and sketches described by Nottebohm, the work opens with an improvisatory sequence of contrasting ideas before settling into a B‑major theme followed by seven brilliant variations. Written alongside the Piano Sonata Op. 78, the Fantasia reflects Beethoven’s spontaneous keyboard style, his fascination with variation technique, and the vibrant publication network linking Vienna, London, and Leipzig. - [Opus 076 – Six Variations in D Major for Piano on an Original Theme](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus076/) - Beethoven’s Six Variations in D Major, Op. 76—composed in 1809 and dedicated to Franz Oliva—were published in 1810 by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig and by Clementi in London. Though the autograph is lost, sketches survive in the Landsberg 5 manuscript. The theme, later reused in the Turkish March from The Ruins of Athens, inspires variations ranging from ornamental brilliance to pastoral lyricism, with hints of “Turkish” color and a Presto finale that briefly recalls the Hammerklavier Sonata. Op. 76 stands as a refined example of Beethoven’s middle‑period variation craft. - [Opus 075 – Six Lieder (Sechs Gesänge) for Voice and Piano](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus075/) - Beethoven’s Six Lieder, Op. 75—composed mainly in 1809 and dedicated to Princess Kinsky—were published in 1810 by Clementi in London and by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig. Drawing on texts by Goethe, Halem, and Christian Ludwig Reissig, the set includes revised versions of earlier songs and reflects Beethoven’s renewed engagement with German poetry. With manuscripts dispersed across Bonn, Berlin, and private collections, Op. 75 reveals Beethoven’s evolving song style, from lyrical simplicity to dramatic characterization, within the vibrant publishing context of early 19th‑century Vienna. - [Opus 074 – Quartet in E-flat Major for 2 Violins, Viola and Cello (“Harp Quartet”)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus074/) - Beethoven’s String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 74—composed in 1809 and dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz—was published in 1810 by Clementi & Co. in London and by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig. With an autograph preserved in Berlin and sketches spanning February to October 1809, the quartet is renowned for its extensive pizzicato arpeggios, which earned it the nickname “Harp Quartet.” Combining a reflective introduction, a serene yet energetic Allegro, a lyrical Adagio, a dramatic Presto with a fierce Trio, and a set of elegant variations, Op. 74 stands as a masterful synthesis of craftsmanship, expressive depth, and Beethoven’s mature quartet style. - [Opus 073 – Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major for Piano and Orchestra (“Emperor”)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus073/) - Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 73—composed between 1808 and 1809 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolf—was published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1811. With the autograph preserved in Berlin and sketches linked to the Fantasia Op. 80, the concerto opens with a groundbreaking solo cadenza and unfolds in a radiant Allegro, a lyrical Adagio un poco mosso, and a triumphant Rondo. Celebrated for its grandeur, structural mastery, and expressive clarity, Op. 73 stands as the pinnacle of Beethoven’s concertos. - [Opus 072 – Fidelio, Opera in Two Acts for Soloists, Chorus, and Orchestra (Third Version)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus072/) - Beethoven’s Fidelio, Op. 72—his only opera, presented here in its third and definitive version—was revised between February and May 1814 with a new libretto adaptation by Friedrich Treitschke. First performed at the Kärntnertor Theatre on 23 May 1814, this version features extensive musical and dramatic revisions, a newly composed overture, and refined structural balance. With manuscripts preserved in Berlin and sketches cited by Nottebohm, Fidelio stands as Beethoven’s final word in opera: a work of moral heroism, human dignity, and triumphant liberation. - [Opus 071 – Sextet in E-flat Major for 2 Clarinets, 2 Bassoons and 2 Horns](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus071/) - Beethoven’s Sextet in E-flat Major, Op. 71—composed around 1796 and published in parts by Breitkopf & Härtel in April 1810—survives without its original autograph, though sketches for the later movements appear in the Kafka collection. Described by Beethoven as “one of my early works, written in a single night,” the Sextet likely draws on pre‑existing material and reflects the Harmoniemusik tradition. With prominent clarinet writing, a graceful Adagio, a lively Menuetto, and a spirited Finale, Op. 71 stands as a vivid example of Beethoven’s early wind writing and Viennese ensemble culture. - [Opus 070 – Two Trios in D Major and E-flat Major for Piano, Violin and Cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus070/) - Beethoven’s Two Trios, Op. 70—composed in 1808 and dedicated to Countess Marie Erdödy—were published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1809. With the autograph of the first trio now lost and the second preserved in Berlin, both works draw on sketches from the Pastoral Symphony notebook. The D‑major Trio, later nicknamed the “Ghost Trio,” features a uniquely atmospheric Largo, while the E‑flat‑major Trio offers refined craftsmanship, Croatian folk elements, and a balanced four‑movement design. Together, they form the expressive center of Beethoven’s six piano trios. - [Opus 069 - Sonata in A major for piano and cello](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus069/) - Riedizione della pagina. Beethoven’s Sonata in A Major, Op. 69—composed between 1807 and early 1808 and dedicated to Baron Ignaz von Gleichenstein—was published by Breitkopf & Härtel in April 1809. With the autograph of the first movement preserved in Vienna and sketches intertwined with those of the Fifth Symphony and the Violin Concerto, the sonata stands as a landmark in Beethoven’s chamber music. Its expansive Allegro, imaginative Scherzo, lyrical Adagio cantabile, and radiant Allegro vivace reveal a balance of intimacy and symphonic breadth that defines Beethoven’s mature style. - [Opus 068 – Symphony No. 6 in F Major (“Pastoral”)](https://www.lvbeethoven.org/opus068/) - Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68—composed between 1807 and 1808 and dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz and Count Rasumowsky—was first performed at the Theater an der Wien on 22 December 1808.
