To Lorenz von Breuning
Vienna, October 1, 1797

Anderson v1 pg27 - letter #21



       Truth is within the reach of the wise man. Beauty can be discerned by a sensitive heart. They belong to one another.

Dear Kind Breuning,

       I shall never forget the time I spent with you not only at Bonn but also here in Vienna. Continue to be my friend; you will always find me the same.

                                                                   Your true friend
                                                                                       L. v. Beethoven
