The history of the origins and sources of Beethovens “Choral Phantasy” is complex and poses considerable difficulties to todays researchers. A definitive “final version” is not extant. Instead, there are contemporary printed editions which diverge from each other in many details. The English musicologist Clive Brown thus also based part of his text-critical work on his comprehensive knowledge of the performance and notation practice of Beethovens time.
“Für Orchester, die gelegentlich mit einem Chor zusammenarbeiten, auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Ein gerade in seiner Einmaligkeit interessantes Stück - und auch nicht besonders schwer. Verwiesen sei noch auf das vorzügliche Vorwort des Herausgebers.” (Plischke, Das Liebhaberorchester)
