On the register page, Beethoven's great-niece Marie Weidinger, daughter of his nephew Karl, quotes from the penultimate verse of Grillparzer's poem "Die Musik" (Music) (http://www.zeno.org/Literatur/M/Grillparzer,+Franz/Gedichte/Gedichte/Die+Musik): "Was der Mime nur schwankend stammelt, / Was der Dichter zu laut verräth, / Lispelt vernehmlich dein Saitenspiel; / Sei die Dichtkunst noch so gepriesen, / Sie spricht doch nur der Menschen Sprache, / Du sprichst, wie man im Himmel spricht." (F.G.)
