Ludwig van Beethoven: 'Christus am Oelberge', oratorio
- Scope & Content:
- 'Christus am Oelberge': a short Oratorio, for 3 solo voices (Christ, a Seraph, and Peter), and Choruses of Disciples and Soldiers, with symphonies and accompaniments for flutes, oboes, clarinets, horns, bassoons, trombones, drums and strings, in score, by Ludwig van Beethoven, in whose hand are a considerable number of alterations and corrections. Under the original text a second is written in red ink, and in some passages a further alternative is given. The whole of this last and a few sentences from the second version (as indicated in the present MS.) have been embodied in Breitkopf and Härtel's modern edition of this Oratorio. The present copy was probably used either at the first performance at Vienna (in 1803) or at the original publication of the work by the above-mentioned firm in 1811. The concluding chorus is wanting.
