       Grand overture to Ungarns I. Wohltäter [Opus 117] with four French horns and a double bassoon, as well as all the other instruments,
                                               By Ludwig van Beethoven

       Introduction to the Ruinen von Athen [Opus 113]; it is a little work which can be performed in the middle of the concert as a refreshment,

       The greatest impediment is the illness of my copyist, inasmuch as I cannot entrust my works to anyone else.
