John Paul Ito: Beethoven research

I have written two papers on Beethoven, a longer essay that reads the quartet, op. 132, in terms of Beethoven's spiritual explorations (Journal of Musicology 30.3), and a shorter essay on Beethoven's relationship with the theologian Johann Michael Sailer (Bonner Beethoven-Studien 11).

The Sailer essay discusses an extremely rare work of Sailer's, the Goldkörner der Weisheit und Tugend published in Graz in 1819.

I can provide individaul higher-resolution jpg images (2.8 MB ea) upon request.
