Although
we have never spoken to one another, yet I have not the slightest
hesitation in introducing to you the bearer of this letter, Herr
Brischdower, a very able virtuoso and an absolute master of his
instrument - He not only performs his own concertos but is also
an excellent quartet player. I earnestly hope that you will obtain
for him a wider circle of acquaintances. He has already made a
favourable impression on Lobkowitz and Fries and all the other
distinguished lovers of music -
It
would not be at all a bad thing, I think, if you were to take
him some evening to Therese Schönfeld, at whose house, I
am told, many friends assemble, or if you even invited him to
your house - I know that you too will thank me for having procured
you this acquaintance -
All
good wishes, my dear Baron -
Your
most devoted Beethoven
