Ignaz von Seyfried, Brief an Friedrich Schwaan in Rostock, Wien, 18. Mai 1830, Autograph

Seyfried apologises for his late reply. He says he has spent his entire time working on a requiem that he had always wanted to compose and which he has now completed as part of a promise. Seyfried sends two festive compositions for choir, however, although he would like to present more compositions, he feels that these are not suitable for the receiver's purpose because at the moment, he was only "writing for the church". He also announces "Beethoven's Studies" from the composer's bequest, which he is currently editing for printing and which he will send off once they have been published. He encloses two autographs for Weber, among them _wm375_{HCB Mh 46f}.
