BEETHOVEN 200 YEARS AGO TODAY: Monday, June 20, 1825 (approximately)

Sometime over the next few days (possibly on more than one occasion), Beethoven makes a shopping and errand list in the Conversation Book.

• Diana Bad [in Leopoldstadt]
  One bath, 48 kr. C.M., with linens;
  Subscribers receive 12 tickets for 8 fl. C.M.
• Camelot [goat hair cloth].
• Boot wax (Spar brand).
• Karl: Bring the [Stuttgart] Morgenblatt with him.
• Receipt: That I have received from Herr L.v.B. through Steiner and Company, etc.

Conversation Book 90, 12r.

In today’s Wiener Zeitung (Nr.138) at 595, music dealer Jeremias Bermann again advertises his edition of Beethoven’s grand Sonate pathétique pour le Pianoforte.
