Beethoven

Beethoven's manuscript for the 9th Symphony sold this morning on Sotheby's for $3.5 million

...3.5 mil..... am i the only one who thinks this was completely undersold?

I don't have an extra 3.5 million to spare so I don't feel like I am a fair judge of that....personally it seems like alot of money...did it sell to a private collector or a museum??

TeriB19 · 05-22-2003, 03:04 PM

No, I bought it!!

Dogstar · 05-22-2003, 06:17 PM

HOLY CRAP!!!! That is one of my faves, though...Very moving piece.

Sheila63 · 05-22-2003, 06:59 PM

It's one of my favorites too.

But that's a lot of $$$!!

goddess_bb · 05-22-2003, 10:32 PM

I thought so too...Sheila..mucho denario, si?

Mulletman · 05-22-2003, 10:34 PM

i dunno, might just be me but i believe that 3.5 mil is a steal... and kind of a mockery to such a great work of art....

Dogstar · 05-22-2003, 10:57 PM

Yeah, it does seem like quite the bargain when you consider things like homes and baseball teams go for much more. To me, something like a Beethoven's sheet music would be priceless.

Lechium · 05-22-2003, 11:43 PM

I agree -- 3.5 mil is nothing for something as fundamental as 9th Symphony.
I just hope whoever bought it wount copyright it lol

Sheila63 · 05-23-2003, 12:24 PM

You're right. The more I think about it, something like that is truly priceless.

JulieCitySlicker · 05-23-2003, 12:35 PM

I think it should have gotten more

Dang! I wish I had that much money sometimes, but I know that money doesn't always bring happiness:P

Bridge of Clay · 05-23-2003, 01:06 PM

who sold it?

I´d make a joke about Beethoven, the dog, but it wouldn´t come out funny, so I gave up...

anyway, I ask you:

they paid nothing for a master piece of art or the athletes are the ones who get paid a lot for nothing???

Mulletman · 05-23-2003, 01:47 PM

it was a Sotheby's auction in NYC, a private collector bought they havent released a name

Bridge of Clay · 05-23-2003, 06:55 PM

I saw that, but I meant other thing:

who put it up to auction?? I mean, it belonged (???) someone, didn´t it? or a museum or school or something like that
