Beethoven's Portfolio of Bagatelles

Abstract

Beethoven published two sets of bagatelles during the 1820s – op. 119 (11 pieces) and op. 126 (six pieces) – but it is known that he considered publishing several other bagatelles as well at this time. Exactly which pieces these were, and why he did not publish them in the end, are matters which have never been thoroughly investigated; but an examination of these and related questions helps to throw new light on the two published sets as well as revealing interesting features about the unpublished bagatelles, none of which was printed until long after his death.
