Reviews for Grasnick 5: Beethoven´s Pocket Sketchbook for the Agnus Dei of the Missa solemnis, Opus 123
"Building upon two generations of scholarship on what Beethoven referred to as 'my greatest work,' Metzler and Stoltzfus have made a meticulous study of the sketches for the Agnus Dei from the Missa solemnis from late 1820 and early 1821. Their Grasnick 5 beautifully complements the recent editions of the composer’s two main desk sketchbooks from these years."
