To Joseph Sonnleithner
Vienna, Autumn, 1805

Anderson v1 pg141 - letter #122

 

 

Dear Sonnleithner!

       I am quite ready now - and am waiting for the last four verses - for which I have already thought out the theme provisionally - It is my definite purpose to write the overture [Anderson footnote: "…'Fidelio', in its first version 'Leonore'."] during the rehearsals and not until then.
