Nice to know
Trenck von Tonder describes Beethoven's funeral and the performances of Mozart's and Cherubini's Requiems in his honour. He asks for discretion regarding the enclosed copy of Grillparzer's funeral oration because it has not been printed and he has only been given it on his word of honour.
