VIII performance took place on Apr. 7th 1805 in the Vienna Theatre at one of Franz Clements Benefit Concerts, Beethoven himself conducting. Mention has been made above of the dealings with Breit-kopf and Härtel*) for the acceptance of the work. The negociations lasted a long while. On Jan. 16th 1805 Beethoven sent the Symphony to Leipzig, but received it back again on June 21st, as satisfactory terms for it and other works could not be arranged. The parts of the Symphony then appeared in the Kunst- und Industrie Kontor (announced in the Wiener Zeitung of Oct. 19th 1806), the former having already published the second Symphony. The title was as follows: —"Sinfonia Eroica com-posta per festigiare il Souvenire di un grand' Uomo e dedicata a Sua Altezza Serenissima il Principe di Lobkowitz da Luigi van Beethoven op. 55. No. Ill delle Sinfonie. A Vienna nel Contor delli Arti e d'Industria al Hohenmarkt" No. 582 (Edition Number 512). When Beethoven was blamed for the Symphony's excessive length", he had the following remark inserted on the 3rd page of the 1st Violin part:— "Questa Sinfonia, essendo scritta piu longa delle solite, si deve eseguire piü vicino al principio ch' al fine di un' Accademia e poco doppo un' Ouvertura un' Aria ed un Concerto, accioche sen-tita troppo tardi non perda l'auditore gia faticato delle precedenti produzioni il suo proprio proposto effetto." The Full Score was first published by N. Simrock of Bonn (Edition Number 1973) in the year 1821. On Feb. 12th 1805 Beethoven had written to Breitkopf & Härtel, through his brother Karl, as follows:—"My brother also thinks it would be to your benefit to issue a miniature score of this Symphony similar to those of Hadyn printed in Paris, in case amateurs should want to procure one." The metronome marks were added by Beethoven subsequently, together with those refering to the Symphones 1 and 2, and 4 to 8. They were published in the supplement to the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung (Leipzig) of Dec. 17th 1817. Wilh. Altmann. *) Compare Oskar v.Hase, Breitkopf & Härtel "Gedenkschrift". Fourth Edition. Vol. I (1917) page 168 etc. **) "My brother thought at first that the Symphony would prove too long if the first part of the first movement were repeated, but on repeated performance it was found that the omission of the repeat was harmful to the work" Karl v.
