The A-Z Beethoven Quiz (rules of the game)

[Quijote]

If they won't it's because they know in advance they'll have to pay Roehre. The "G", then:
G = Gneixendorf, where Beethoven's landowner of a brother had his estate. What's an estate, by the way?

[Roehre]

H = Heiligenstadt (or Heiglnstadt, as Beethoven misspelt it), little place where B wrote his october 1802 Testament

[Sorrano]

I is for Ignaz Moscheles, friend of Beethoven and assisted/scored the piano score of Fidelio.

Is using the first letter of the first name cheating? If so then we will need to come up with another I.

[Quijote]

I'm off to bed guys. Remember now : Roehre was the last to post "H". If nobody can come up with "I" within 24 hours he will have to provide it. I said that already, didn't I? Don't think I don't have an "I", 'coz I do, see? Goodnight!

[Quijote]

This software is too slow! Good point Sorrano, but I think you'll have to come up with another "I". Over to you, and goodnight!

[Sorrano]

I will be out for a while, myself, but will be ready to resume tomorrow.

Take care!

[Preston]

J = Julia Guicciardi, whom the Moonlight Sonata is dedicated to.

[Quijote]

Sorry Preston that doesn't count (unless for a "G"). We have to wait for someone to post the "I" first.

[Michael]

"In questa tomba oscura" WoO.133? Beethoven's 1807 setting, words by Giuseppe Carpani.

[Megan]

Joseph Joachim (1831-1907) performed Beethoven's Violin Concerto in London in 1844. He composed two cadenzas for it.

[Roehre]

Preston has done the J already, therefore now the K

K = Karl, the composer's nephew. This spelling is the correct one, which is remarkable, as by then most names beginning with a K-sound were still written as C, Carl therefore in this instance.

[Megan]

Prince Karl Lichnowsky , Beethoven's friend and patron.

[Quijote]

M = Missa solemnis.

[Chris]

Christian Gottlob Neefe

Beethoven's teacher in Bonn.

[Michael]
