Notes and Editorial Reviews
For those interested in the nature of genius, Beethoven left a rich resource of paper-trails. Not only were there working manuscripts but also sketchbooks, notebooks and letters, not to mention the lively testimonies of several contemporaries who heard the composer's premier piece. The concerto was first performed in 1803 bu the actual dating of its genesis is unclear. However much the filiation of sketchbooks and manuscripts may give a clue, the timpani reference surely shows us that it was a work in his mind over the turn of the eighteenth century.
