But apparently in this case he appeared beautifully turned out, everything in place. And somebody said that he's really looking extraordinary well today and he says, ah yes but, what just happened is that, from time to time his friends really feel something should be done about it. And they take away when he is asleep all his old clothes. And they lay out new ones. And Beethoven just gets into them, you know he isn't aware that there's been any change.
The first sketches for the opening movement of the Ninth Symphony date from 1816. But the intensive work was done in this house in Baden 17 years later. Over 600 pages of sketches survive. Beethoven had asked whether the Philharmonic Society of London might be interested in commissioning a grand symphony and they offered him £50 for two symphonies. The idea of setting Schiller's Ode to Joy to music dates back to Beethoven's time in Bonn. The sketchbook showed how he wrote out the words of the Ode to Joy and put it in the bars, but at first with no tune. He laboriously refined the famous melody and hinted at it throughout the symphony.
