J is for Jena Symphony, NOT composed by Beethoven as earlier thought.

[Quijote]

K = Antonin Kraft, 'cellist friend of B, played in that damn concerto with two other soloists.

[Roehre]

M = March, musical form used by Beethoven among others in WoO 18-20 and opus 45

Niemetz - certainly not a friend of Beethoven but of his nephew, Karl. B did not approve of this acquaintance but that didn't bother Karl!

[Roehre]

O = Opferlied op.121b

[Peter]

Odescalchi - Countess Barbara (Babette) was a pupil of Beethoven's and her nephew later told Nottebohm that he presented himself ffor lessons in his dressing gown! The sonata Op.7 was dedicated to her.

Perhaps. Possibly.

[Quijote]

R = Rondo. Like in that concerto I don't care to mention. Sorry.

[Quijote]

H is for Handel, a favorite composer of Beethoven.

I saw you're first spelling attempt, Sorrano! Made me think about Peter's "door knob" story !! For any newbies on this forum, you'll have a job tracking down that post, I can tell you !!
