Nice to know
Karl van Beethoven sends the publisher Härtel in Leipzig a newspaper extract and asks him to publish it (it is probably Beethoven's "warning" about the pirate edition of Beethoven's collected works for piano and violin published by Carl Zulehner). Once again (HCB Br 306, BGA 163) Karl asks for the name of the critic in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung who had written a scathing review of his brother's oratorio.
