After Beethoven’s death, an envelope labelled “Bagatelles” was found among the composer’s papers. It contained drafts for an unpublished set of 12 Bagatelles in which a revised version of the infamous Für Elise was to become number 12. In our recital we present this “cycle” in Mario Aschauer's reconstruction for the first time in music history—a true Beethoven World Premiere!
