Beethoven composed the Missa solemnis op. 123 in Vienna, Austria, between the years 1819 and 1823. It was dedicated to his friend and patron, Archduke Rudolf of Austria, and was intended for the installation of Rudolf as Archbishop of Olomouc (Olmütz) in the present-day Czech Republic. However, the work was not completed in time for the installation ceremony, and it was not premiered until April 7, 1824, in St. Petersburg, Russia, under the baton of the composer. The Missa Solemnis stands as a testament to Beethoven's unwavering artistic vision and his exploration of spiritual themes.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
