X. Three vocal pieces and march (orchestration of the march in the Sonata, Op. 26), for Duncker’s tragedy “Leonore Prohaska.”
XI. Canon: “Kurz ist der Schmerz”; second form as written in Spohr’s Album “on March 3d, 1815.”
XII. Song: “Des Kriegers Abschied.”
XIII. Song: “Merkenstein,” Op. 100; “On December 22d, 1814.”
XIV. “Abschiedsgesang”; for two tenors and bass (“Die Stunde schlägt”). Note on the publication in the “Completed Works, etc.”: “Beethoven wrote this terzetto at the request of Magistrate Mathias Tuscher for the farewell party of Dr. Leop. Weiss before his removal to the city of Steyer.” Beethoven inscribed it: “From Beethoven, so that he may no longer be touched up.” (Um nicht weiter tuschiert zu werden. The pun on the Magistrate’s name is lost in the translation. Tuschiren means to touch up with India ink.)
The publications of the year:
I. Irish Airs, Vol. I, complete, published by Thomson.
II. Chorus: “Germania’s Wiedergeburt”; published in June.
III. Song: “An die Geliebte,” by J. L. Stoll; published as a supplement to the “Friedensblätter,” July 12.
IV. Six Allemandes for Pianoforte and Violin, advertised by Ludwig Maisch on July 30. (The author lacks means and opportunity to determine the authenticity of these dances. It is, however, hardly probable that a Viennese publisher would venture at that time to use Beethoven’s name thus without authority.)
