Mark Evan Bonds (University of North Carolina) spoke about an alleged confession to Carl Czerny, repeatedly challenged by later scholars, that Beethoven may have felt that he had made an “error of judgment” (Mißgriff) in composing a choral finale for the Ninth Symphony instead of a purely instrumental movement, and that debate endures.
