Led Zeppelin - Bring It On Home

Marie Elizabeth Tellenbach and Rita Steblin believe that Beethoven, through some intermediaries, helped Josephine with money, because otherwise it is difficult to explain why he incurred big debts between 1818-1822, because he did not allow himself any excesses. But Beethoven himself did not utter a word about the whole story. However, at the end of 1820 and the beginning of 1821 he wrote mainly business letters to publishers, where it was inappropriate to discuss the affairs of third parties. Moreover, after March 14, 1821, there was a long pause in Beethoven's correspondence, and the next letter in time dates only on June 7, 1821 (it is also business-like). Not a single composition also appeared during this period, and at the beginning of 1821 Beethoven wrote only what he called "trifles" - five piano bagatelles, which later became part of opus 119.The complete absence between March and June 1821 of any activity, either epistolary or creative, could be explained either by Beethoven’s poor health, or by a deeply depressed state of mind, or both at once. And only by the end of the year he pulled himself together, completing Sonata No. 31 (op. 110) at Christmas, and in mid-January 1822 - Sonata No. 32 (op. 111).
