    Another Beethoven manuscript comes on the block

    A late draft of the first late quartet will be auctioned:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/27/ar...ic/27MANU.html

    Question: isn't selling this MS in order to be able to take better care of the rest of the collection, like selling the bell tower of a church in order to be able to repair the flaking plaster on the inside walls?
    See my paintings and sculptures at Saatchiart.com. In the search box, choose Artist and enter Charles Zigmund.

    I don't think any of this material should be in private hands - it belongs to the world and should be preserved in museums!

      I agree but what are you going to do with private people who want to scoop up this art form and have the money to do it.

        There should be a law to compel them to give it back to a museum plus a hefty donation to go with it!
