[Circle of Beethoven and Mozart – Johann Andreas Streicher (1761-1833)]
Collection of letters by members of Beethoven and Mozart's circle addressed to the Viennese piano maker Andreas Streicher, 1801-1813 and n.d.
Letters by friends and patrons of Beethoven and Mozart, to Beethoven's piano maker.

The letters include:
Carl Amenda (close friend of Beethoven). Two autograph letters signed, 29 June 1801 and 5 February 1804, in the conclusion of the second asking Streicher to send greetings to Beethoven and let Amenda have his correct address, sending also compliments to Constanze Mozart and her future second husband, Georg Nikolaus von Nissen; also ordering a piano for a Herr von Kleist;
Dorothea von Ertmann (pianist, Beethoven's pupil, dedicatee of the piano sonata no.28, sometimes identified as the 'Immortal Beloved'). Two autograph letters signed, n.d. and 13 March 1809, about her pianos; with one letter by Baron von Ertmann, 1802, asking for a piano to be prepared for him;
Ignaz von Mosel (music critic, organised the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde's music festivals, which Streicher founded). Autograph letter signed, 17 September 1812;
Karl Alois, Prince Lichnowsky (patron and later enemy of both Mozart and Beethoven, dedicatee of a number of Beethoven's works). Autograph letter signed;
the composers Johann Franz Xaver Sterkel (1806, praising Mozart and Beethoven's 'powerful compositions') and Johann Friedrich Reichardt (1812), also Streicher's wife, Nanette (close friend of Beethoven, five letters), an order for a piano for 'Herr Clementi', [September 1808], identified as being by 'Gelineck' (presumably the Czech pianist Joseph Gelinek) and a note from 'Dragonetti', accepting an invitation on behalf of Clementi, [1810]; and 14 other items.

Altogether approx. 29 items. Provenance: Sotheby's, 22 May 1987, lot 324.

Andreas and Nanette Streicher established their piano manufacturers in Vienna in 1794: Beethoven praised one of their fortepianos as 'too good for me ... because it robs me of the freedom to produce my own tone'. Nanette was a particularly close friend of the composer, and was one of his closest confidants in the education of his nephew Karl.
