A while back a visitor mailed me requesting information on Beethoven`s Tenth Symphony. I looked around for some info but quickly gave up since I though that this was just another urban legend. Then I came across something written in 1912 See Below that has sparked my interest and I included it for visitors to read. Since then several knowledgeable visitors have told me that Beethoven left behind sketchs of the Tenth Symphony. And even better than that a man by the name of Barry Cooper has reconstructed the symphony from these sketchs and has released a CD showcasing his efforts.
