In Beethoven's head, I like to play the devil.

Dear Johannes,

You can't imagine how relieved I am – thank you very much! In Beethoven's head, I like to play the devil – the main thing is he finally has a first place to stay.

I hope and wish for you that he remains as content as he was in the first hours with you for a while. Surely this will change soon. You will need a good hand in dealing with him. Let me know if there are any problems or if you need a tip.

In the meantime, I am trying to find suitable accommodation for him in Vienna for the weeks until departure to Prague.

Best regards from Dresden, Frank
