LUDWIG VAN - BEETHOVEN 1770-1827
...DANN IST LUDWIG VOR SEINER ERSTEN WIENER REISE ZU FUSS VON BONN NACH KÖLN GEPILGERT, UM SICH VON SEINER JEANETTE ZU VERABSCHIEDEN. "DU POCHST SO HEISS, DU JUNGES HERZ, O HERZ, WAS SOLL DAS GEBEN? DU BIST VOLL LUST DU BIST VOLL SCHMERZ, O HERZ, WELCH NEUES LEBEN!.." [Then Ludwig made a pilgrimage from Bonn to Cologne on foot before his first trip to Vienna to say goodbye to his Jeanette. "You throb so hot, you young heart, o heart, what shall that give? You are full of pleasure you are full of pain, o heart, what a new life!"]
