Latterly my time has been painfully occupied by all manner of business, visits, work, etc. I have written to nobody, as you may well imagine, because you did not receive a letter from me. Together with this I send you the score of my "Kunstler" chorus, and between this and the autumn I intend to publish half-a-dozen orchestral pieces, also in full score.
For we are the artists among nations waxen temperaments, formed to take on impressions, to be moulded this way and that, by our age, our epoch. You are the moralists, we are the ..."

This representation took place at a festival of the Künstler Liedertafel of Düsseldorf in 1863, also in London. Eine schöne Menschenseele finden ist Gewinn. Beethoven did not have the faculty of teaching except in rare instances.
Live in your "Rhinegold," and think lovingly of WEYMAR, February 21st, 1854. Many thanks for your "Kunstler." You had in me a somewhat adverse judge of this composition I mean, I was not in the mood for it. I have got so unaccustomed to judging in an objective sense that in everything I go entirely by inclination.
Shall I have the score in May, according to promise? Go on with it bravely! As soon as you have finished, the rest will follow. Forget all about Philistia and Jewry, but remember cordially Your I presume you have received the medallion which the Princess sent you.

December 13th, 1853. Hoplit's pamphlet about the Carlsruhe Musical Festival you have probably received. At Christmas I shall send you the Kunstler chorus, which is being autographed in full score.

When shall we see each other, you most amiable and noblest of men? Most stupidly I was unable at "Paris" to remember the address of your children, nor could I think of "Belloni's" address.
Over one of the doors hung a withered laurelwreath of imposing dimensions, and with faded silken ends, on which the inscription was still legible: DEM GROSSEN KUNSTLER, JOHANNES SCHWARZ! Open on a chair, with an embroidered book-marker between its pages, lay ATTA TROLL; and by the stove, a battered wooden doll sat against the wall, in a relaxed attitude, with a set leer on its painted face.
If you think of me at all, think of me always as of one hard at work and profoundly melancholy. Farewell, best and dearest friend. The "Kunstler" is splendid. Greet all at home. From your I am frequently sad on your account; and on my own account I have not much reason to rejoice. My chief object and task is taking a very serious and painful turn.
But oh, my son, my dear son, you have abused this gift of Imitation, which might be such a blessing and pleasure to you." Schiller. "Der Künstler."
