The 2 people present at the moment of Beethoven's death were Anselm Huttenbrenner and oddly in my opinion B's sister in law Therese Van Beethoven. B had been staying in Oct and Nov 1826 with her and his brother Johann at their Gneixendorf estate and he had left after a furious argument. Beethoven had done all he could to prevent her marriage to his brother in 1812 and they had never got on, yet she was destined to be with the composer in his last minutes - bizarre!
