Allegro Confusium?

[Pastorali]

Have read about, but I'm not sure for right spelling. Did Beethoven say "Allegro Confusio" to his homes places?

I don't really understand the question!

Hi Peter
The question is: Did say Beethoven "Allegro Confusio" about his home? Because he had always a bit a mess at home, he gave them that funny name. So I read about, but have forgotten where and I'm not sure how he did say exactly. Maybe somebody else knows it?

Pastorali,

I think the quote you are referring to is from Beethoven's letter to Nannette Streicher regarding the state of his housekeeping and the perpetual problem with servants:


(1817) To Frau v. Streicher.


Yes indeed, all this house keeping is still without Keeping, and much resembles an - allegro di confusione.
If I read rightly, you will give me the pleasure of a visit this afternoon at 16.30, or is it to be 14.30? This needs no answer, so you must once again send out your little letter-carrying pigeon, for the women are washing for themselves today, in turns, in the washing trough.

~~ In haste,
Your friend,
BEETHOVEN.


(The little "letter-carrying pigeon" was probably Frau Streicher's daughter, Sophie.)

How cute!
