Misc. Notes	This stained Beethoven manuscript was the property of the pianist René-Paul Baillot, who gave it to the Paris Conservatory in 1889. The nickname "Appassionata" appears nowhere in the manuscript; instead, Beethoven apparently subtitled it as "La Passionata." There are many changes and corrections in notation throughout.
