No. 3, Rage over a lost penny?
Beethoven left the piece unpublished and incomplete in 1795? it was published in 1828 by Anton Diabelli who concealed the fact that Beethoven had left it unfinished.Last edited by Megan; 10-31-2011, 08:28 AM.‘Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.’Comment

I think might be own to something? Though, I might be making this up, it is all really vague?Originally posted by Peter View Post
I remember reading about a pupil of Beethoven's, who was very much a principalled and very educated woman. If I remember correctly she was not necessarily a "life-long" friend, though I think the two were close for a few years. I think Beethoven may have even thought about marrying her? She was a very talented pianist. I think it all happened around 1805?
Also it seems, if this is the lady I am thinking of Beethoven invited her to a walk one day, and in the letter he told her something (cannot remember correctly) similar to, that he an her would not worry about any "blissful intentions" etc. She did not like that, nor did her husband. He wrote several letters to her explaining that she misunderstood what he wrote and took it the wrong way, etc.
If I just knew her name,
!
Now I may have to pull out Thayer's book, which is where I read it.
