A lock of Beethoven’s hair gifted personally by Beethoven to pianist and former military officer, Anton Halm, on April 25th, 1826. On the 12th of October, 1859, Halm gifted a portion of his lock to American-born Beethoven biographer, Alexander Wheelock Thayer, while being interviewed during Thayer’s biographical research on Beethoven. These hairs remained within the Thayer family’s collections until their acquisition by members of the American Beethoven Society in July, 2017, as part of the “Thayer Collection”.
