Sepultura - Sarcastic Exsistence

In one of her letters, Josephine thanked Beethoven for the kindness shown to her children - but what was this kindness about? Is it only in words of participation? Or was he almost in a family relationship with Vicki, Fritz, Karl and Zefina, delving into their games, fun and troubles? Beethoven was usually very affectionate with children, and in this case he had to have especially tender feelings for them. Seven-year-old Vicki was a very smart girl and could begin to understand that all this was no accident. Perhaps Josephine decided to limit his communication with children, because she knew that he would never become their adoptive father: the laws of the Austrian Empire did not allow this.
