On the last page (p. 26v) there are two other handwritten citations: the first line of "Hol dich der Teufel" Hess 254, and the transcription of the scherzo "Lob auf den Dicken" WoO 100.
Luigi, our deep friendship cannot be an obstacle to expressing all my most unconditional esteem for you. You are irreplaceable, since our work plan is the concrete, the existing part of creation, namely the tangible. In this regard, I take the opportunity you offer me to insert on the site precisely the sketch of the canon that is on page 26. You will find it here: http://www.lvbeethoven.it/Opere/Beethoven-Midi-Mp3-Canoni.html#Hess254 It should be for four or more voices, but anyone who has other solutions is welcome. WoO 100 will also soon be on the site, although, strictly speaking, it does not seem to me at all to be a canon, as reported by some, but rightly a musical scherzo with an obstinate voice. Well done Luigi! We would have so much material for a new article on the "Neue Beethoven Studien"!
Even though Red is one of the few whom I know little about directly, I find him to be a very well-prepared forum member and also an attentive observer. I always read his observations with pleasure. Like many others, clearly...
In effect, one can quite easily speak of the philosophy of music, but when observations like this one from Red occur, it is very stimulating for those who conduct direct research on sources, as Luigi does or - very modestly - I do as well. Very good. A truly great topic! Well done everyone. Finally, here is another hole closed: with the WoO 100, which can be found on page 26 of the manuscript, we have the two works that were missing from the site. http://www.lvbeethoven.it/Opere/Beethoven-Midi-Mp3-Canoni.html#WoO100 With all these holes being filled, we will have very smooth roads this summer. The coming days will be dedicated to putting Beethoven's studies online, namely the works ranging from Hess 233 to Hess 246. There are many exercises, fugues, and counterpoints, which I will divide into batches to put online by late July - early August.
