summary:
  But one thing I ask of Thee, my God--not to cease Thy work in my improvement ... Let me tend towards Thee, no matter by what means--and be fruitful in good works.... And Ludwig van Beethoven had a means of communing fearlessly with his Creator, which, for him, was perhaps, as direct a road as prayer, if _laborare est orare_. Beethoven, in his various migrations from lodging to lodging--and they were very numerous, and inspired by the most trivial causes--always endeavoured to select an airy, sunshiny spot, where he could at least feel the country air blowing to him, and so keep in touch with his beloved green fields.

summary:
  Seyfried, in fact, seems to have gone to work with incredible recklessness; his Beethoven's Studies is an _Olla Podrida_, composed of not only Beethoven's own exercises (put together without regard to natural sequence or chronology), but of another theoretical course, probably that prepared by Beethoven years after for the instruction of the Archduke Rudolph; while a third element is actually introduced in the shape of Studies from a MS. The following letters to Wegeler display, more fully than we can describe, Beethoven's condition during the first few years of his calamity:-- _Vienna, 29th June_, (1801.)

  As to the future system of education, I can at all events congratulate myself on having done all that I could possibly effect at present _for the best_, and trust _that the future may be in accordance with it_. Do you mean to go post-haste to the devil, gentlemen, by proposing that I should write _such_ a _sonata_?

  The question now is whether Y.R.H. _is satisfied with the title_. the occasion of this note is thus related:--In 1825, a well-known artist and _dilettante_ in the composition of music published a book of waltzes, each of these being composed by the most popular and celebrated musicians of the day; as no one declined giving a musical contribution to the editor, the profits being intended to enable him to go to Carlsbad for the benefit of the waters there.

  Life of Beethoven Including his correspondence with his friends, numerous characteristic traits, and remarks on his musical works

summary:
  for, Heaven be praised, Beethoven _can_ write, although he can do nothing else. At last Beethoven himself joined the chorus, on looking at the waiter, who was licking in with his tongue the stream of gravy which, much as he fought against it, hindered him from uttering any more invectives; the evolutions of his tongue causing the most absurd grimaces.
