The Beethoven-Haus Bonn is dedicating an exciting special exhibition to the eventful history of a special document: Beethoven's original manuscript of the fourth movement of the String Quartet op. 130.
The exhibition "Winding Paths" traces the path of this extraordinary manuscript, which returns to its destination after around 200 years. An impressive look behind the scenes of music history.
Beethoven's manuscript of the fourth movement of the String Quartet op. 130 was an important new acquisition for the Beethoven-Haus in January 2025. The manuscript had come a long way before it found its final home 200 years after it was written. The special exhibition not only presents this special manuscript, but also tells its eventful and exciting story.
