Jena Symphony

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The so-called "Jena Symphony" is a symphony that was at one time attributed to Ludwig van Beethoven. The symphony was discovered in 1909 in the archives of a concert society in Jena, from which it derived its name; it was published by Breitkopf und Härtel in 1911. It is now known that the piece was the work of Friedrich Witt.
