Sepultura - Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos

His image in 1804–1805 was very different from the usual image of a gloomy, painfully closed, disheveled, scruffy-dressed genius at the epicenter of natural disasters (storms or thunderstorms) or everyday chaos. Young Franz Grilparzer, Zonleitner’s nephew, saw Beethoven in his uncle’s house in 1805 and recalled that in those years the composer was very careful about his appearance, dressed elegantly and dapper, and even wore glasses - perhaps in order to look respectable (later he wore glasses only for reading and playing notes, and when he went out, he used lornet).
