English Translation
88 176 Beethoven means it with the cure. Now he has become mentally free, he wants to be physically free. Dr. Malfatti finally gave him the best advice: the warm bath of Teplitz! But today is bath-free. Beethoven takes the time to finish his outside people for the Gaffers. The new hearing machines Maelzel invented for the master in Vienna capture him completely. Oh God, if it were possible with her help to become a Kensch among humans again! Maelze, by the way, makes a "Mechanic Trumpet", he wrote recently and asked for a symphonic poem for the mechanical roller. Beethoven laughs at the madness of Maelzel and listens to the hearing tube, whether he can hear his own laughter. He does not know with certainty. He can also deceive himself. He must first learn to need the tube properly. Don't knock it at the door of his room? It will be a waiter, who else! Operators are in place if they are not needed. And because 8 in good service tends to be curious - for how differently should the Lord's desires be guessed, which are to become his own - so he enters the room without prompting. "Goethe" - says the Goeinarat. From ever the lightning appears dangerous, which no thunder has reported before. Beethoven forgets the hearing machines of Maelzel. He bliths mur on the mouth of him whom his heart loves. Beetho- 1 ven's hands nest on the shirt, whose collar is still unlocked. He cannot grasp the silken calfband, so his hands trembl.
