common name
A lock of Beethoven's hair initially acquired by piano-maker and friend of Beethoven’s, Nannette Streicher, on or before November 4th, 1820. On November 4th, 1820, the hairs were gifted by Streicher to the pianist Elise Müller, who was visiting Vienna with her father. Following Müller’s acquisition of the hairs, their chain of custody is no longer complete. The hairs resurfaced in the collections of Swiss-born Beethoven collector, Hans Conrad Bodmer, when, upon his death in 1956, his entire collection was bequeathed to the Beethovenhaus-Bonn.
