After a ruckus with Prince Lichnowsky, legend has it that B. wrote to him:Prince! What you are, you are by circumstance and birth. What I am, I am through myself. Of princes there have been and will be thousands. Of Beethovens there is only one.
Probably too good to be true, but a great story.

A day or so before the concert Ries had arrived at Beethoven's flat at dawn to assist him and found him in bed scribbling on sheets of paper. "What is it?" Ries asked. "Trombones" Beethoven said.
