The Moravian Museum in the Czech city of Brno has had the original manuscript for the fourth movement of Beethoven's String Quartet n B-flat Major, Op. 130 in its collection for more than 80 years. The museum put the score on display for the first time this week in anticipation of handing it over to its rightful owners.The museum said a restitution law on property stolen by German Nazis made the return possible.
The family tried but failed to send the manuscript abroad by mail in March 1939 during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, drawing the attention of the Gestapo. From his new home in the United States, Franz Petschek, who had run the family's mining businesses in Czechoslovakia, tried to get the piece back but was unsuccessful due to the post-war division in Europe and creation of the Iron Curtain.
Return the stolen artifacts in all the European museums back to their homelands!!!
Soft. You guys are so soft. Twitter files?
I would love to take old documents like this scan them, clean them up and get them engraved on wood. They would be great in the gift shop.
This is super impressive 👏
