Ludwig van Beethoven, Brief an Nikolaus Zmeskall, Wien, 22. April 1813, Autograph

Beethoven-Haus Bonn, NE 71

Beethoven wishes to speak to Nikolaus Zmeskall urgently. He wants to talk to him about the apparently very bad rehearsal at Archduke Rudolph's, during which the symphonies op. 92 and 93 had been rehearsed on 21 April 1813. Beethoven is generally very unhappy with the musicians' performance, singling out the cellist Nikolaus Kraft as being particularly bad.
