Lessonbook 1927/28, pp. 21‒22 (Hoboken): "April 13: at his request (on account of Mengelberg) Beethoven's 'Eroica' begun"; "April 20: "'Eroica' first movement finished, second looked through cursorily, asks above all for the third movement"; "April 24: 'Eroica' finale, something about the Scherzo added. At the end, van Hoboken thanks [me] for the introduction."
