For the sake of accuracy, the Vienna Hofkapellmeister Anton Teyber dies in November 1822. It is suggested to Beethoven to apply for the position, and Beethoven does so in a letter dated 1 January 1823. Despite the court's inclination not to fill the position, various religious texts are sent to Beethoven in March 1823 for Beethoven's consideraation. Beethoven starts to sketch a mass in C# minor. In March 1824, Beethoven asks to be excused from composing the mass. In 1828, Schubert applies for the position and is rejected.
