This article is long enough and just about new enough. We need a citation for Demmer being acquainted with Beethoven. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has yet to be done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:51, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Whoever sang Florestan in that performance, didn't please anyone, and Beethoven - according to the source - was profoundly dissatisfied, and he was replaced, after only 3 performances, for the next round while other singers remained (both acts p. 86). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:48, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
