An 80-page handwritten manuscript of Beethoven's Grosse Fuge, missing for 115 years, has been found by a librarian near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
"It was just sitting on that shelf," said Heather Carbo, who found the score in an evangelical seminary.
The work will be turned over to Sotheby's for display in New York before it is auctioned in London. Beethoven scrawled notes on the pages and some cross-outs are so deep the paper is torn.
