'Ta, ta, ta, lieber Maelzel`, WoO 162 - canon a 4 Some believe Anton Schindler wrote the canon based on the Allegretto scherzando theme from the 8th Symphony but there is no conclusive evidence as there is no manuscript nor printed edition from those days available. 2. Kurz ist der Schmerz, und ewig der Freude, WoO 163 - canon a 3 This three-part canon on "Kurz is der Schmerz und ewig ist die Freude" was written by Beethoven on 23 November 1813 for Johann Friedrich Naue (1787-1858). The text ("Brief is the pain and forever is the joy") is from The Maid of Orleans by Friedrich von Schiller, who of course is best known in connection with Beethoven as the poet of the Ode to Joy that concludes the Ninth Symphony. 6. O Tobias! WoO 182 - canon a 3 This canon, dreamed of by Beethoven, is found in a letter to Tobias Haslinger, Publisher, Baden, September 10th, 1821. Here is a fragment: "Farewell, very dearest of friends, we wish you continually that you may never be true to the name of publisher and may never be publicly humiliated [2], but a publisher who is never humiliated either in public or in private, neither in taking nor in giving. Never fail to sing the epistles of St. Paul every day, go to see Father Werner every day, for he will show you the book whereby you will go to Heaven forthwith; you see my solicitude for your spiritual health, and I remain always with the greatest pleasure from eternity to eternity". The pun on "Verleger" (publisher) and "verlegen" (embarrassed, at a loss) was one of which Beethoven was especially fond. The dramatic poet Zacharias Werner, who had become a convert to Roman Catholicism. 8. Schwenke WoO 187 - canon a 4 This canon was written on November 17, 1824 for the pianist, composer Carl Schwenke. 9. Kühl, nicht lau WoO 191 - canon a 3 In late summer of 1825 Friedrich Kuhlau visited Ludwig van Beethoven. Accompanied by some friends such as Tobias Haslinger, Karl Holz and Conrad Graf, the two composers spent an enjoyable and jolly day. On this occasion, Kuhlau improvised a canon named "B-a-c-h". Beethoven reacted with a canon of his own, following the words "Kühl, nicht lau" [(cold not tepid) WoO 191], thus alluding to Kuhlau's surname.
