The Redoute was the only important building which the Archduke Max Franz had built in Bonn. Shortly after it was completed at the beginning of July 1792 the so-called "Godesberg Breakfast" was held. At this reception organized by the Bonn court musicians for Joseph Haydn, who was on his way back to Vienna after a visit to England, the twenty-one year old Beethoven met the famous composer in person. He took this opportunity to show Haydn a cantata he had composed. Haydn looked at the composition and praised it. (S.B.)
