Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Robert Schumann wrote of the work that "it would be difficult to find anything merrier than this whim... It is the most amiable, harmless anger, similar to that felt when one cannot pull a shoe from off the foot, then starts stomping and sweating while the shoe phlegmatically looks up to his owner". Despite the late opus number, Beethoven composed this Rondo in 1795 but left it incomplete. Only after Beethoven's death was it discovered and published by Anton Diabelli.     Pavel Gintov
