Nice to know
Beethoven, who addresses the musician as "Cäcilia"(the patron saint of music), sends her the dedication copy of the original edition of the Piano Sonata op. 101 with this eloquent letter.
Beethoven apologizes for not coming to her concert at Czerny's house (Dorothea von Ertmann was a brilliant pianist). His health had been too bad and is only slowly improving.
