# Missa solemnis is completed for Archduke Rudolf's elevation and then publicly heard

Date: 1824

## The fact

[Beethoven](/people/ludwig-van-beethoven) completed the Missa solemnis for Archduke Rudolf's elevation, then heard it publicly in 1824 after missing the 1820 ceremony. It is a Mass, not the Ninth. Ludwig van Beethoven's documented role is: He wrote the Mass for Rudolf's archbishopric. It missed the 1820 ceremony; 1824 performances are the public instrument.

## Context

Rudolf is dedicatee and pupil. Sharing the Mass with him is required. The setting of Missa solemnis is completed for Archduke Rudolf's elevation and then publicly heard is the public file around 1824-04-07. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not twin with the Ninth's same-week publicity. Two works. Mixed effects of Missa solemnis is completed for Archduke Rudolf's elevation and then publicly heard are separate paths.
