Heather Carbo unearthed Beethoven's manuscript score for a piano version of Grosse Fuge in B flat major from a dirty cabinet in the basement of the Palmer Theological Seminary near Philadelphia. The 80-page document, circa 1826, dates from the end of his life when he was completely deaf and is estimated to be 1.5 million pounds. It will be auctioned by Sotheby's in London on December 1.
