Beethoven frequents regularly, either alone or with friends. We know of that because he writes
about it in his conversation books. In his later years, he's 47.
Beethoven is always a writer. He is a writer of his own ideas,
in little books. Advertisement in coffee house
in Landstrasse. "Meals, 60 guldens.
Salary, 25 guldens. "Wine, 42 guilders. "All together, 127. "Yearly, 1,524 florins guldens." So he writes down his income. I think this conversation book shows
that even a composer of his standing had to have a daily life, and he had to fight for his daily
food, meals and we can see Beethoven,
here, is a guy who suffers from his illness, but who still overcomes it with lots
of energy
