Beethoven
No, but that was present also.  i kid you not. Very close to the answer. It was a talk by the leaving head of special collections and his favorite items in the collections. One was Shakespeares first folio, etc etc.. |

Mozart
Hair from Mozart given by his widow to Vincent Novello in 1829! Had no idea it was in Special collections here until today. In those days it seems famous people didn't do autographs but they did in fact on occasion give bits of their hair... Novello (who started the whole Novello music legacy) was writing a book about Mozart and visited his wife when the exchange took place, which eventually was donated to Leeds Uni in the 1920's. |

Yeah, I reckon so as well. A good thread though, maybe could turn it into a series? |
