| 13065 | who was happier than I, when I could still utter the sweet name of mother, and it was heard? |
| 13065 | whose talent has failed on this occasion( for those I send require to be fresh mended), when do you intend at last to cast off your fetters?--when? |
| 13065 | with whom can I discuss this mighty goddess? |
| 37996 | And dare I now, most Serene Highness, venture to lay the first fruits of my youthful labour before your throne? 37996 I hear wonders of galvanism-- what say you to it? |
| 37996 | Those lovely scenes of my Fatherland, what part had I in them? 37996 WHO HAS FORBIDDEN THEM?" |
| 37996 | Well? |
| 37996 | Why? |
| 37996 | You want to know something about my position? 37996 _ The Mount of Olives_,"an oratorio; text by Franz Xaver Huber; composed 1800(?). |
| 37996 | ( Of course there were little misunderstandings between us; but did they not serve rather to cement our friendship?) |

| 37996 | 1799(?). |
| 37996 | 4), the most delicately finished and bright in colouring which we possess? |
| 37996 | 53), composed 1803(?). |
| 37996 | A very strong will( is not even this beyond the reach of most?) |
| 37996 | And how? |
| 37996 | And why should he not wait upon himself, and look after the kitchen himself? |
| 37996 | As for my affection, the sister has so large a share of it that not much is left for the brother-- will he be content with this? |
| 37996 | But may not the light- heartedness which distinguishes this overture have been intentional on the part of Beethoven? |
| 37996 | Could it be more difficult to prepare a dinner than to compose a C minor symphony? |
| 37996 | Dare we now really claim his creations, which breathe the highest humanity, as specially_ German_? |
| 37996 | Did the perplexity arise simply from his unbusiness- like habits? |

| 37996 | Do we not sometimes hear it surging like a wave of the mighty stream through the Beethoven harmonies? |
| 37996 | Eleven years old, thought I, how would the character of author become me? |
| 37996 | First, then, how is it that Beethoven''s genius as a composer was so late, comparatively speaking, in developing? |
| 37996 | Has there ever existed a poet who transported our souls into his ideal kingdom with more irresistible force than our Beethoven? |
| 37996 | Have you still a little love for me? |
| 37996 | How comes it, then, that with all these qualifications Beethoven would not afterwards allow that he had profited by his instructions? |

| 37996 | Is not a calm, serene autumn day enough to entrance our inmost nature? |
| 37996 | Is not some such scene the background to the Adagio in the"Sonata quasi Fantasia,"dedicated to the Countess Giulietta? |
| 37996 | Is the B flat major Symphony, after all, as much the exponent of the master passion as is, in another way, the C sharp minor Sonata? |
| 37996 | My youth, I feel it, is only beginning; have I not always been a sickly creature? |
| 37996 | Never? |
| 37996 | Servility from man to his fellow- creature pains me; and, when I consider myself in relation to the universe, what am I? |

| 37996 | What do you think of Schmidt? |
| 37996 | What greater contrast to all this can be imagined than our proud, reserved, brusque Beethoven? |
| 37996 | What shall I say to you about myself? |
| 37996 | What was Beethoven''s object in choosing this theme for his labours? |
| 37996 | What were Beethoven''s intentions with regard to this visit? |
| 37996 | What would there be, indeed, to make me happier? |
| 37996 | What, then, was the cause of it? |
