Notes

Exhibited: The Beethoven's on the Rhine (2020). "Beethoven was baptized at the St. Remigius church, a few streets away from the house in which he was born, on December 17, 1770. The baptismal register does not record the date of Beethoven’s birth, but since it was customary for babies to be baptized a day or two after being born it is likely that his birth date was December 16."
