Who am I?
Is was born in Bonn in 1770.
I lived and worked in Vienna.
In 1802 I wrote:
'Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn, or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you. From childhood on, my heart and soul have been full of the tender feeling of goodwill, and I was even inclined to accomplish great things. But, think that for six years now I have been hopelessly afflicted, made worse by senseless physicians, from year to year deceived with hopes of improvement, finally compelled to face the prospect of a lasting malady (whose cure will take years or, perhaps, be impossible)....'

Would you mind signing your little pests (oops, posts)? The fake
addresses you use are boring.

I said it in rec.music.classical.contemporary, but I have to repeat
myself, because you leave your "quizzes" everywhere: your goal seems
to be to get people to the GMN site, and _this_ is your excuse. Please
say it clearly: either you work for GMN or you receive a farthing for
every hit. Do not bother asking people interested in _early_ music who
was Beethoven. Better answer this: how do you propose to make him an
early music composer?
