1beings of ordinary stature are quite incapable of wrestling with such an instrument: to which it may be added that the singular and beautiful tenor tone, resulting from the necessary disproportion between the pitch and the dimensions of the instrument, is now too strongly identified with it to admit of any change.

39Some further scraps of information have been kindly furnished by Mr. Thayer. 'Carl Holz told Otto Jahn that there was an Introduction to the Tenth Symphony in Eb major, a soft piece; then a powerful Allegro in C minor. These were complete in Beethoven's head, and had been played to Holz on the piano.' Considering that the date of Beethoven's death was 1827, nearly three years after the summer of 1824, and considering also Beethoven's habit of copious sketching at works which were in his head, it is almost impossible but that more sketches than the trifles quoted above exist in some of the sketch-books. And though Nottebohm is unhappily no more, some successor to him will doubtless be found to decypher and place these before us. [G.]
411 Possibly for the overture mentioned above. These are omitted in the present reprint.
422 We have no clue as to which of the words attached to the sketches are Beethoven's, and which Schindler's.
