London, Jan 12: A letter written by the legendary composer Ludwig van Beethoven has been uncovered in Germany after being left in a will.
In the six-page document of Beethoven's scrawled corrections, he complains about his illness and lack of money.
Experts were already aware of the 1823 letter's existence, but say it is of historic value.

"We've always known it existed, therefore the information in it isn't new, but anything in its original form to do with Beethoven is hugely significant,".
