My favorite quote in music history
"Pepi and Beethoven, what's going to come of it?"
That was Therese von Brunswick writing to her sister Charlotte. They are worried about that Beethoven and their sister Josephine, nicknamed "Pepi" and pictured above, are becoming an item. Beethoven is showing up at Josephine's house every day and staying for hours.
With which, another quote: "This is getting dangerous. Beethoven is here almost every day."
You may read of those quotes here although you may find them many places.
In Buffalo we have Brunswick Boulevard.
But anyway.
Pepi and Beethoven.
What's going to come of it?
