Newly discovered composition of Beethoven. A German paper states that a MS. unpublished symphony of Beethoven has just been discovered behind the panel of a room which was undergoing repairs and that a music seller has offered a large sum of money for it.
There are no further references to this spurious work. While it’s true that Beethoven’s
Für Elise wasn’t discovered until 40 years after his death, no symphony has been added to the catalog of his works since his death in 1827.
So no one is expecting to be surprised by a rediscovered, major work in his 250th anniversary year.
