FOOTNOTES:
[16] Surgeon-in-Chief to the army.
[17] Eleanore von Breuning.
[18] Stephan von Breuning.
[19] Probably in the house of Baron Pasqualati.
[20] A painting by Füger, Director of the Vienna Academy.
[21] Christoph Breuning.
[22] Madame von Breuning.
[23] Franz Ries, the violinist.
[24] Ferdinand, afterwards Beethoven's pupil.
[25] Professor of Medicine at the Académie Joséphine, and author of several works.
[26] Undoubtedly the Countess Julia Guicciardi.
[27] The Breuning family had long been in possession of one of the most honourable posts in the Teutonic Order, four members had successively filled the office of Chancellor, and Stephan himself was afterwards appointed to the government of Mergentheim. He was generally esteemed, and died a short time after Beethoven.
[28] The omission of the name of Johann van Beethoven from this document is somewhat unaccountable. It may have been caused through Beethoven's irritation at his conduct. The original of the Promemoria is now in the possession of Madame Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt.
[29] Beethoven was at the time in his thirty-second year; but he never knew precisely his age.
