"Just read Shakespeare's The Tempest", said Beethoven when he was asked about this piece (and the Appassionata, Op. 57)---So reports Anton Schindler, who is not the most trustworthy source.

Wilhelm Kempff,,, I think Beethoven's soul is within him every time he plays a Ludwig's work.

@Gheorgyi Sincere apologies from my crappy keyboard. Once in a while I shake it and guess what? I find a truck load of stuff I had lost a while ago: pins, lost keys, my ex, ad infinitum...

@Johnfdallas I took it seriously, because I didn't know how to take it... :-) You're welcome. For information, you don't need to buy the original Bayer ASA: there are brands of aspirin that sell for much less and, in the USA, are sold over the counter and can be found on the shelves of supermarkets - one doesn't need to go to a pharmacy. P.S.: "fiend"??!!!
