Book Description

Excerpt from Beethoven's Letters, Vol. 1 of 2: 1790 1826, From the Collection of Dr. Ludwig Nohl; Also His Letters to the Archduke Rudolph, Cardinal-Archbishop of Olmutz, K. W., From the Collection of Dr. Ludwig Ritter Von Kochel Since undertaking the translation of Dr. Ludwig Nohl's valuable edition of 'Beethoven's Letters, ' an additional collection has been published by Dr. Ludwig Ritter von Kochel, consisting of many interesting letters addressed by Beethoven to his illustrious pupil, H. R. H. the Archduke Rudolph, Cardinal-Archbishop of Olmutz. These I have inserted in chronological order, and marked with the letter K., in order to distinguish them from the correspondence edited by Dr. Nohl. I have only omitted a few brief notes, consisting merely of apologies for non-attendance on the Archduke. The artistic value of these newly discovered treasures will no doubt be as highly appreciated in this country as in the great maestro's fatherland.
