Nice to know
Petter Sketchbook
As shown by the relatively large stitch holes in the left margin of this sketch leaf (with jottings for the Seventh Symphony op. 92) it was once part of the so-called Petter Sketchbook. At some point it was torn out, as were many other single leaves with sketches. The Beethoven-Haus in Bonn not only owns the greater part of the complete sketchbook - 74 leaves (HCB Mh 59), but also nine single leaves (BH 105, BH 119, BH 120, BH 122, BH 123, HCB Mh 85, NE 110, NE 126, NE 128) which were once part of it.
