Beethoven
 

“When I was still small, I spent three years here in Vienna learning to play the violin with Joseph Böhm, a musician from Beethoven’s circle of acquaintances told us.
I lived in Böhm’s house and Mrs Böhm always supervised my practice. This hospital household was often visited by an old violinist, Grünberg, who had played for several years in Beethoven’s orchestra.
Grünberg once told of how Schuppanzigh, the concert master, complained to Beethoven during the first rehearsal of a new composition that a certain part for the left hand had been written so badly, that you almost could not play it. After which Beethoven barked at him:

‘As I wrote this part I was aware
15.-21.
of being inspired
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25,
16. 26, 17. 29, 30
by Almighty God.
6. 9. 16.
Do you think I can bear your tiny fiddle in mind
1.-3. 1
when He speaks to me?’ ”
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25,
16. 26, 27, 17. 28
