Who knew that 18th-century Austrian music scribes were unreliable?  Learning that blew Aram Lindroth’s mind. On a 2022 fall break trip to the New England Conservatory in Boston, he found out that not only were some early manuscripts of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and other works riddled with errors, but that the master composer actually used his own sophisticated dynamic markings. Those marks were too sublime for the scribes and didn’t make it into transcriptions.
