To Beethoven, this Mass was a special work. “I believe I have treated the text as it has seldom been treated.” The Mass in C, first performed in 1807, is Beethoven’s lone contribution to the series of masses written for Prince Esterházy by Josef Haydn and Johann Hummel, commissioned as concert works each year for performance on the Sunday following his wife’s name-day.
