Beethoven's Conversation Notebooks

Interesting, regardless of the great work OrlandiArmando will do, which editions exist, which ones to get (... are they still on the market?)?

In any conservatory library (if well-stocked) you can find something from 1962 and 1977 by Magnani, otherwise from 1968, Georg Schünemann; Guglielmo Barblan

I would take a quick look here

Regarding the notebooks, I will digitize the ILTE book itself, whose rights should have expired a few years ago. Unfortunately, they stop in 1823, so part of 1823 to March 1827 is missing. I will look for Schunemann's early works, in German. At this moment, Giuseppe Carpani's volume "Le Haydine" is almost ready, in which Ludwig is spoken of directly, having been published in 1812.

You mean the one from 1962? Right? Now it's only 50 years? Weren't they 70?

hi Talentuoso, nice to meet you!

Nothing has changed regarding the copyright regulations, obviously. (Law of April 22, 1941, number 633 and then the Berne Convention of 1978 - law number 399 on June 20 of the same year) However, these rights belonged to I.L.T.E., which closed its doors a few years ago. Together with my lawyer, we will see if a binding obligation still exists. Schunemann is dead, Biamonti died in 1970, and the book is from 1968.... As of today, we do not have a valid interlocutor for the two subjects in question, neither from I.L.T.E. nor from the heirs of Schunemann or Biamonti (the ninety-year-old son of the brother who still lives in Rome knows nothing about his uncle's work and there is no record of an inheritance transfer). We will see. One walks on eggshells when talking about copyright..... Regarding Schunemann, there is a publication from 1941, in German, in three volumes, with all the years of the Konversationenhefte 1823 - 1827.

Thank you, then we await news
