The Life of Ludwig van Beethoven, Volume II

Note 93 — Chapter XII

Henry Edward Krehbiel translation

Here Beethoven was mistaken. Haydn composed accompaniments for a volume of Scottish songs for Napier, a London publisher, without ritornellos or violoncello; he wrote as Beethoven wrote for Thomson—with violoncello part as well as ritornellos. In a later letter (of February 19) the same error is repeated.
