Miscellaneous information
Regarding the dedication of Beethoven's Cello Sonata Op102, No.1: "The work has no printed dedication, but it is said that the composer, on being visited by ..Neate, inscribed the work to him in his own hand." (Denis Stevens in Chamber Music ed Robertson, London, Penguin 1957, p266) However, this could well be a fabrication, since Neate was notoriously immodest: as one contemporary remarked, "Neate introduced into England many celebrated works of Beethoven, Weber and Hummel – and he did not forget, when you were in his society, to let you know it."
