“humiliated. Given Beethoven’s actions, the whole town now knew of the family dispute. More than that, his intended wife saw her name being dragged through the mud. Illegitimate daughter she might have, but this she did not deserve. According to Thayer, Johann decided to confront his brother. In the large room he had given him in his own house, he remonstrated with him, ordering him to keep his nose out of his affairs, to mind his own business. Instead of contrition over the extreme action he had taken, Beethoven argued back. Tempers flared and ... ‘A scene ensued on which – let the curtain be drawn,’ Thayer diplomatically writes. There can be no doubt that the two brothers came to blows. Europe’s most renowned musical”
John Suchet, Beethoven: The Man Revealed - revised & updated edition

“[She] made no scenes on my arrival, she did not weep, or marvel at the change in me – it was simply as though we had parted only a year ago.”
John Suchet, Tchaikovsky: The Man Revealed
