Peter;
Manuscripts have lives of their own and end up in the hands of all sorts of people. So, just because Therese Malfatti owned the original MS does not carry much weight. And what more, the original MS is lost, which, as sad as it may be, is the demise of many MS's. As I wrote before, the Kopitz article is not very detailed and we should await the Beethovenhaus publication.
