Summary
[Inside Front Cover]
BEETHOVEN: From March 11, 1820.
[Blatt 1r]
JOSEPH CZERNY [seemingly at the Birne or a similar establishment close to Beethoven's apartment on the Josephstadt Glacis; probably the afternoon of Saturday, March 11]:
I am married—I go somewhere in the evenings only to rest from the exertions of the day. // One lives only for himself here. Were you at [the] Kam[eel]? // I drink only water at midday; today, however, I will drink wine in the end. //
<I have also learned a great deal already, of the matters which—u ei de.> [//] [Blatt 1v] I only wanted to say that I have learned a great deal of what is being spoken about. // Against you and for you. //
You surely want to demonstrate only good deeds for Karl, and any other mother would kiss your hand for it. // <She is> One knows her. // It is to be wished that these matters will soon be over. That is the opinion of all your friends and admirers. [//] [Blatt 2r] You have a great deal of annoyance. // It would be better for her child, if she [Johanna] were perhaps in the penitentiary—like so. //
She [Beethoven's housekeeper?] wanted to tell me that concerning the butter, but I do not understand it. // She wanted to do it very well, and in the future she will know it already. //
I also love life in the country, and this year shall also go to the country, but unfortunately only for 4 weeks. // To Heiligenstadt or Baden. [//] [Blatt 2v]
She [Beethoven's housekeeper?] says that today she didn't deserve any wine at all, but in the future, she wants you to look over everything that you wish personally. //
Yesterday I was at Count Traun’s, and the day before yesterday at Kollowrath’s, where Wildfeuer is. // He is in the military. //
Your Karl has asked me to bring him some [piano] piece with accompaniment [of one or more instruments], which he then wants to play on St. Joseph's Day (Blöchlinger's name day). [Blatt 3r] Now I am bringing him the Trio in B-flat major. Are you satisfied with that? [//] [presumably continues on Blatt 5r →]
