Notes

Exhibited: The Beethovens on the Rhine (2020). Exhibition text: For the remainder of his trip, it is unknown whether Beethoven continued by postal carriage or took advantage of good weather to return to Bonn by ships along the Main and back to the Rhine. Beethoven arrived home in early May but neglected to correspond with his friends in Augsburg until September. He explains why in this letter to Joseph von Schaden, dated September 15, 1787—the earliest of Beethoven’s personal correspondence to be preserved.
