Nice to know
Siboni, who was employed as an opera singer between 1810 and 1814 in Vienna at the Kärntnertortheater, recommends the opera composer and pianist Louis Joseph Ferdinand Hérold to Beethoven. In addition he asks for musical news from Vienna, but purposefully disregards Beethoven's music, for the latter is too modest (meaning: lazy) to make much of a fuss about this.
