3. British Library, Add. Ms.29997 (= SV 187), fol. 31. The leaf is of a paper-type that can be dated to 1808 (see Alan Tyson, “The Problem of Beethoven’s ‘First’ Leonore Overture,” Journal of the American Musicological Society, 28 [1975]: 316). Der glorreiche Augenblick, Opus 136, was first performed on 29 November 1814, a date that might serve as nothing more than a terminus post quem for the sketches for Resignation. Another brief and isolated entry for the song, on a bifolium (Tours, Conservatoire de Musique, SV 383) that once formed part of a sketchbook from 1814–1815, does indeed seem to date from some years earlier than the Boldrini sketches. The text is clearly “binden lisch aus [—] mein licht!,” and the few notes of music suggest something akin to the final bars of a setting. But clef, key, accuracy of pitch and rhythm are difficult to ascertain with any certainty. On this entry, see Johnson, The Beethoven Sketchbooks, 239, and Werke, XII/1: 74. I am very grateful to Helga Lühning for providing a copy of the Tours leaf.
