There seems to be more abiding interest in unearthing old memos abroad than there is here.
- Gwen IfillI was both thrilled and overjoyed when I heard about the re-discovery of this wonderful manuscript, a true original by an artist for the ages. This wonderful find brings back the excitement of fifteen years ago, when the Seminary celebrated the unearthing of an original score by another musical genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At that time, we called it the `Mozart miracle`. It seems appropriate that this time we are thankful for the `Beethoven blessing.` Through the extraordinary generosity of the Doane family, God has once again blessed us with a gift that is of rare and practical beauty.
