Bia 838 is listed as "Symphony No. 10 in E flat major: part only; authorship: unfinished at death". The first movement has been finished by another and has been recorded a few times. As I have ordered the CD and it will arrive this week, I shall better know more about it soon.

Barry Cooper completed a movement in 1988 known as Beethoven's 10th based on sketches. CD's of this are available, though it has to be realised it is by Cooper, not Beethoven! There is a rather lovely adagio theme, but I find the main allegro section disappointing and more reminiscent of Mendelssohn than Beethoven.

It's really difficult, anyway, to figure out where Beethoven might have gone with these ideas. From the sketchbooks we see that the original ideas are often far from the polished product. It would be far more interesting to simply hear the sketches in their order rather than hear someone else's realization of the sketches.

I had this cd years ago as a kid. I found it a bit disapointing as well. If only Beethoven lived a few more months we might of had a tenth symphony.
