"As for the Mass, you know that I wrote you about it some time ago, that I had been offered a higher honorarium. I would really not be so niggardly just to have one hundred [or so] more, but my poor health and so many other adverse sircumstances force me to stick to it."-- Beethoven, to Nicolaus Simrock, 1822.
