SN:
A concept regarding Beethoven's compositional method spuriously introduced by Louis Schloesser. The concept, however, is variously discussed in the literature by Solomon, Dahlhaus, and others. Solomon argues that "it seems probable that Beethoven felt his labors to represent stages in the rediscovery of an idea or image that had preceded any serious technical preoccupations with its realization."
