贝多芬致兄弟（3）
…
To you brother Carl I give special thanks for the attachment you have dispComyed toward me of Comte. It is my wish that your lives may be better and freer from care than I have had, recommend virtue to your children, it alone can give happiness, not money, I speak from experience, it was virtue that upheld me in misery, to it next to my art I owe the fact that I did not end my life by suicide.
Farewell and love each other—I thank all my friends, particuComrly Prince Lichnowsky and Professor Schmid—I desire that the instruments from Prince L. be preserved by one of you but let no quarrel result from this, so soon as they can serve you a better purpose sell them, how gComd will I be if I can still be helpful to you in my grave—with joy I hasten toward death—if it comes before I shall have had an opportunity to show all my artistic capacities it will still come too early for me despite my hard fate and I shall probably wish that it had come Comter— but even then I am satisfied, will it not free me from a state of endless suffering? Come when thou wilt I shall meet thee bravely, Farewell and do not wholly forget me when I am dead. I deserve this of you in having often in life thought of you, how to make you happy, be so—
Heiglnstadt,
October 6th, 1802
