These two Polish schellings were not worth more than half a kreutzer, or some halfpenny, yet was I driven by necessity to commit violence on two poor men, who, had they been as desperate in their defence as I was obliged to be in my attack, blood must have been spilled and lives lost; hence it is evident that the degrees of guilt ought to be strictly and minutely inquired into, and the degree of punishment proportioned.
No one but my son, myself and Anna had been near that room " Kreutzer straightened up as one whose shoulders have been stooped for the reception of a mighty load which, finally, has been fixed upon them. "You have told him?" "Not yet." "Ah, that is lucky.... I beg your pardon, Madame, you have dropped your handkerchief."
Then, after an awed moment, there came a little spatter of applause. All these men were seeking for a chance to earn the mere necessities of life; every one of them was more than anxious, was pitifully eager for the small position which was open; but, having heard Herr Kreutzer play, they hoped no longer and were generous. The owner of the beer-garden looked on them in surprise.
As he stood on the bridge so dreaming, a hand clutched him, and a voice said: "A whole kreutzer, or you do not pass!" Findelkind started and trembled. A kreutzer! he had never owned such a treasure in all his life. "I have no money!" he murmured, timidly, "I came to see if I could get money for the poor." The keeper of the bridge laughed.

In addition to his own fine method and exercises, he also used Gavinies, Dont, Rode, Kreutzer, applying in their studies ideas of his own.
How gladly would I work and work, if it were only left me to write always such music as I please, and as I can write; such, I mean to say, as I myself set some value upon. Oh heavens! were I a wealthy man, I would say, 'Mozart, compose what you please, and as well as you can; but till you offer me something finished, you shall not get a single kreutzer.
His first loves the Andante in F, the three movements of the Kreutzer Sonata, a prayer from Otello, the Twelfth Rhapsody, the Swan Song and the Evening Star, and finally Isolde's Triumph over Death these were ascendings, indeed to the point of wings.
Beethoven changed his mind about the dedication, and a year or two later this distinction was conferred on a friend, Rudolph Kreutzer, violinist and composer, who had come to Vienna in 1798 with Bernadotte, and as a matter of course, became acquainted with Beethoven.
M. Lais, first singer to his Majesty, M. Kreutzer, and M. Baillot, first violinists of the same rank, had gathered the finest talent which the imperial chapel, the opera, and the grand lyric theaters possessed, either as instrumental players or male and female singers.
Here, close at hand is Mistress Kreutzer with her orphan children, you know them you and Master Peter they are in sore need of help and the good we do to others. But come close to me, come all of you and the little ones likewise."
