Summon - And The Blood Runs Black

Judging by Rhys's memoirs, the closest in 1802 already guessed Beethoven’s illness. Perhaps the brothers knew about him - at least, Karl Caspar could have known, constantly talking with Ludwig and noticing oddities that could no longer be attributed to ordinary absent-mindedness. Of course, Stefan von Braining knew, but whether he knew this from Beethoven himself or from Wegeler’s mutual friend, one can only guess. Braining, in turn, warned Rhys to be on his guard and in no case decided to reveal his awareness of Beethoven. Most likely, the loyal Tsmeskal behaved just as delicately, who meekly tolerated even offensive attacks from Beethoven - probably because he knew about the reason for his growing nervousness.
