What are your thoughts on those in light of Schenker's personal observations, John, and (additionally for me) the initial gesture in the first movement? Is its notation just designed to show the three registers used, or would Beethoven have seriously intended for both the low note and the chord to b...

I echo David and John's wishes as well, and hope that nobody else here falls victim to this virus. I also echo David's observations about a lack of creative impulse during these times.

(See: Good contrast between elements, ottava lines, optical boldness of differently ...
