ABOUT
This piece is based on the following quote from Beethovens ‘Conversation Books’:
“Yet everything in this world is transient, and thus all that is earthly evaporates once again into nothingness, and surface appearances are sadly so deceptive! Outwardly an angel, inwardly a devil, thus are women all too often – I was to spend many an unhappy hour thereafter, before I was able to forget her.”
Maurice Schlesinger, 4 September 1825 in Baden, son of the Berlin publisher Adolf Martin Schlesinger
