‘I have written very few new songs, but instead I have tried my hand at several kinds of instrumental music and composed two string quartets and an octet (...) the latest news in Vienna is that Beethoven is giving a concert, at which his new symphony, three selections from the new Mass, and a new overture are to be performed.’
- Schubert writing to his friend Leopold Kupelwieser in Rome on 31 March 1824 ~ referring to Beethoven’s newly completed Ninth Symphony, his Consecration of the House Overture, and his Missa Solemnis
