Overview
Variant spellings that are not mistakes are retained. Because of space limitations, I have kept explanatory footnotes to a minimum. St. Stephens Cathedral is a fine Gothic building with a very high steeple inclining to one side. Besides the usual matins and vespers, the archbishop has ordered two hours every' day to be devoted to prayers for peace. The piece to-night was [Salieri's] 'Palmyra, Daughter of the King of Persia;' the scenery and decorations were particularly splendid: several hundred soldiers were on the stage at once, and marched and paraded in excellent order, and one of the princes entered mounted on a real live camel,9 and another upon a fine grey horse with a grand train of attendants. According to Josephine Brunswick, with whom Beethoven was in love in 1805, he wrote the song for her as a present sometime in March 1805.
