The text for the recitative was taken from PietroMetastasio?s ?Achille in Sciro? but there it was not followed by an aria. It is also not clear why Beethoven only published the piece nine years after writing it. The Critical Commentary at the end of this single edition from HN970 gives detailed information on the source situation and all aspects of our edition of this dramatic masterpiece.
