Pursuant to all this there is a different version of Beethoven's
'Pastoral' (6th) symphony, which I heard Manchester Camerata play in
Ulverston. The provenance of the version was given but there was no
suggestion that the more commonly heard version was therefore
'WRONG"; merely that it represented Beethoven's thoughts at a
different time.
