Information The source is www.in.gr (great Greek portal) - Well, not so much! What we were saying ? Oh, yes! Of course! 2.13 million pounds was the price for a "package" of original manuscripts of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (that is, give or take, 3 millions euros) at a recent auction. This set of manuscripts consists of hundreds of pages and contains very large quantity (and, of course, quality!) of music material, as well as an unpublished composition (of an unknown, for the time being, size)! The specific offer of the auction was done over the phone! The full articles can be found at http://www.in.gr/news/article.asp?lngEntityID=459062&lngDtrID=253 (in Greek language! I am sorry for this). The whole subject is pretty impressive ! *** |
