His first letter to her overflows with nonsense and meaningless rhymes, puns, and quibbles, such as: "Ich hoffe, Sie werden auch meinen Brief trief, welchen ich Ihnen aus Mannheim geschrieben erhalten haben schaben.

In 1785 Cardinal Albani, who possessed in his Roman villa a precious collection of antiquities, became Winckelmann's patron. Pompeii had just opened its treasures; Winckelmann gathered its first-fruits.
Some of the master's best work was written specially for Rudolph and when the latter left Vienna in 1809, Beethoven wrote the sonata, Les Adieux L'absence, et le Retour, to commemorate the occasion. He inscribed it as follows: "Der Abschied am vierten Mai gewidmet und aus dem Herzen geschrieben."
