500    "This is a Genuine Vireo Book"--Title page verso. 
520    "When the assistant manager of a hardware store in rural 
       New Jersey shows up at the offices of Cubbage & Wakeham, 
       an elite New York auction house, with a worn musical 
       manuscript he hopes to sell for a small (or perhaps hefty)
       fortune, he is greeted with subdued snickers--and not 
       surprisingly. The title page of the document reads, 
       'William Tell: A Dramatic Symphony' and is signed 'Ludwig 
       van Beethoven.' The bearer of the composition claims he 
       recently came upon it in an old attic trunk while cleaning
       out his lately deceased grandfather's home in Zurich; 
       several accompanying documents suggest the work was 
       written there during the summer of 1814. Since virtually 
       all lovers of classical music--and many others who can't 
       tell Stravinsky from Springsteen--know that Beethoven 
       wrote nine sublime symphonies, and so evidence of a new-
       found tenth one by the supreme master of that musical form
       sets off an instant international uproar. Is the seemingly
       miraculous discovery the genuine article or an ingenious 
       hoax? To solve the tantalizing puzzle before placing the 
       manuscript on the auction block at risk of becoming a 
       global laughingstock, Cubbage & Wakeham's management 
       organizes a team of intensely skeptical investigators, 
       among them the world's top Beethoven scholars and forensic
       experts, all of them out to prove the find a fraud. But as
       evidence to the contrary begins to pile up, tensions rise 
       among the corps of authenticators, the financial stakes 
       soar as would-be exploiters of the symphony gather, the 
       governments of five nations seek to claim the work as a 
       national treasure, and the mystery artfully spun by 
       novelist Richard Kluger deepens by the day"--|cFrom
