8 JTW, pp. 271–2. The identification of a hitherto unremarked setting of the plainsong hymn Pange lingua gloriosa on page 4, staves 1/2-3/4 was made by Barry Cooper during 2012 (see, for example, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20070588), after this review had been submitted for publication.
9 Among his other publications on the Missa cited in the endnotes to the Introduction and Commentary (II, 30–3), Drabkin omits to cite his Beethoven: Missa solemnis (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991), which surveys the sources for the work.

11 Drabkin's identification, in his ‘Inventory of the Sketchbook’ (II, 20) of this sketch as ‘End of a piece in B or B flat’ is entirely plausible; but Beethoven provides no characteristic final barline marking a real ending (compare I, 77, st. 6/7), and there is nothing to say that these two bars do not represent a half-cadence in E or E flat. This is not to say, however, that the sketch on I, 1, st. 1/2 corresponds directly to any part of the second movement of op. 109.
