Although my main man for the past 16 years has been Bach, for the first 20 years of my listening it was Ludvig van. I don't listen to his symphonies anymore (except for the first and ninth), but his piano music and his string quartets never seem to wear themselves out. This is a great find.

Rather a pig when it came to clean hands if the manuscript is to be believed . . . .
I can only imagine what the keyboard looked like . . .

I imagine that is sealing wax, although it's a guess.

Beethoven (it is said) was a slob. The reason he lived in so many apartments in Vienna was that he would mess one up badly and then move to another.

Amazing speed given the hour and the single cup of coffee. This is just fascinating. Thanks for the post.

Sealing wax? - maybe he didn't like the result so he just glued the pages together?

I saw that and figured Ludwig often enjoyed pizza while composing...
