Nice to know
Karl van Beethoven regrets that he is not able to send the publisher Härtel in Leipzig a score of Beethoven's Oratorio "Christus am Ölberge" ("Christ on the Mount of Olives") op. 85 as he only has one (he sent Härtel orchestral parts instead). In case Breitkopf & Härtel is not going to publish the work in score form, he also sends some instructions for the performance (no longer surviving).
