Schindler offers Röckel three so far unknown compositions from the first Fidelio version (Leonore version): an aria with choir (Pizarro, a duet of Leonore and Marzelline, a trio of Marzelline, Jaquino and Rocco. Beethoven sent him the compositions three years ago when he reviewed Fidelio with Schindler's sister.
(...) The rest of the letter is about the Vienna theatre conditions and family matters. (Max Unger)
The three manuscripts are from Beethoven's opera "Leonore" (version from 1806) and were transferred via Schindler to the Berlin State Library (aut. 26). The Pizarro aria not identified by Schindler and Unger constitutes the end of the first finale (see Helga Lühning, Vom Mythos der Ur-Leonore, in: Von der Leonore zum Fidelio, Frankfurt am Main u.a. 2000, p. 41-64).
