Beethoven is 44. He's aware of his faculties
going, his most important faculty of hearing. And the more he loses control of
that, the more he tries to go control of anything
else he can get his hands on and, of course,
the first thing is his family. As the head of a family,
you never lose that sense of responsibility
and it continues. So Beethoven is well established in
Vienna now. Both of his brothers are living
in the vicinity. He meddles in Johann's relationships
cos he wants to advise him who he should marry. Karl has helped him with getting his
music out, as well, with his publications, and Beethoven is paying his
medical costs. So he's kind of lording it,
