Beethoven return

A musical manuscript handwritten by Ludwig van Beethoven is getting returned to the heirs of the richest family, the Petscheks, in pre-world War II Czechoslovakia, whose members had to flee the country to escape the Holocaust. The Moravian Museum in the Czech city of Brno has had the original manuscript for the fourth movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet n B-flat Major, Op. 130 in its collection for more than 80 years. Beethoven composed the sixmovement String Quartet in B-flat Major in 1825 -1826 as part of his work on a series of quartets commissioned by Russian Prince Nicholas

Galitzin.
