Summary
N.B. Beethoven initiated this conversation book for his interview with Baron Tettenborn at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 21. Chronologically, its initial entries begin at about the middle of Blatt 9v in Heft 19.
[Blatt 1r]
SCHINDLER [at Baron Tettenborn's apartment in the Deutschordens-Haus, Singerstrasse No. 879, largely conveying the baron's side of the conversation; 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 21]:
Berlin. [//] Varnhagen. //
Haven't you had yourself galvanized? //
A fellow countryman. // As he went to France, he was in Bonn. //
He will speak to several ambassadors about it and [illegible word]. [//] [Blatt 1v]
The baron is having his son study at Krause’s. //
We are speaking of Stockhammer. //
I am now supposed to go to the Requiem at St. Anna. //
[N.B. Schindler's comments after the meeting with Tettenborn, as expressed to Beethoven, appear in Heft 19, Blatt 9v.]
BEETHOVEN [shortly after the meeting with Tettenborn]: 5-voiced Fugue and canon, given to Steiner; [Blatt 2r] don't forget. [//]
BERNARD [midday or early afternoon, Tuesday, January 21]: I ate midday dinner at the wholesaler Uhlinger's yesterday; his daughter likewise froze her feet at the [Blöchlinger] Institute. Now the trouble has returned. [//]
[Blatt 2v]
SCHINDLER [possibly at a restaurant; possibly at midday dinner, ca. 2 p.m., on Tuesday, January 21]: If you won't betray me, I’ll show you the opera book that the High Administration intended for you. Your brother gave it to me to look through; I have already given it the death sentence, and don't comprehend how they can give you something so miserable. Maybe it was good for Roser and Consorts. [//] [Blatt 3r] But don't make any mention of it, I beg of you very much. //
I am very sorry if I deceived him, but I cannot and shall not handle it [subscriptions to the Missa solemnis] in any other way and wish that I could do more. //
Mecklenburg has two rulers; I had to study how they involve them both, so that one does not offend the other. [//] [Blatt 3v]
A friend of mine for seven years. //
