Ludwig van Beethoven - Violin Concerto in D-Dur, op. 61

Before the harmful effects of various environmental influences claimed Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major, a “last-minute” reproduction was made of this manuscript, which has worldwide significance. As a result, the work now exists “pre-served” for posterity, and with an excellence of quality that remains unequalled: Beethoven’s various – and meanwhile in parts already faded to illegibility – writing materials (light and dark inks, lead pencil and red chalk, together with his extraordinarily chaotic corrections) are reproduced in extremely impressive quality – just as if the master had only just raised his hand from the paper. Only this facsimile guarantees experts a full understanding of the original history of this violin concerto without exposing the damaged original manuscript to wear.
