Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings in C major, Movement III

One of my favorite stories about Beethoven was told by Dorothea von Ertmann, a pianist and a friend of Beethoven’s. When she lost one of her children, Beethoven invited her over, said, “Now we will converse in music,” and improvised for hours. “He said everything to me,” Dorothea later said about that day. “And finally gave me consolation.”

And this wasn’t an isolated incident. Another of Beethoven’s friends, Antonie Brentano, a woman given to deep depression, said that Beethoven would come to visit without speaking a word. He’d just sit at the piano outside her room and improvise for a few hours before silently leaving again. He was “telling her everything and bringing comfort,” she said.
