This passage, sourced from the "Musikalisches Conversations-Lexikon" of 1870, provides a glimpse into Beethoven's physicality, creative process and his love for nature.

"Beethoven was of a small rather than medium, but stocky and strong nature, stocky and of strong bone structure; the face, full, round and healthily coloured, was framed by thick, dark but almost always tangled and disordered hair and showed restless, luminous eyes that were almost piercing when the gaze was fixed, as well as an energetically closed mouth. The latter indicated strength of action and will. While the eyes spoke of good-naturedness and shyness or even absence in the mind. The taut conduct of the body gave way to a suspiciously listening posture as the deafness increased, but the movements were and remained hasty and unregulated. But under his neglected, peculiar, often rough and repulsive shell, he concealed a noble, pure and sensitive heart, deeply permeated by nature and human love. His most sublime works are a celebration of these feelings. He loved and cultivated solitary walks far out into the countryside and took them almost daily, regardless of the weather. In order to think, dream and create undisturbed and unchallenged by any unpleasant coincidences. ... For the inconveniences which domestic life offered him (he was not married and so his household was under the arbitrary control of a servant), he rewarded himself in his favourite workshop, in the great wide nature, where some of his major works were not only written, but also polished".

這段摘自1870年的《音樂對話辭典》的文章提供了對貝多芬的體力、創作過程和他對大自然的熱愛的一瞥。

“貝多芬身材矮小，但強壯有力，骨骼結實。他的臉圓潤健康，被濃密的黑髮環繞，常常顯得凌亂。他的眼睛在注視著東西時，會呈現出不安和明亮的光芒，幾乎像是在刺痛人的眼神。他的嘴巴緊閉，顯示出他的行動力和意志力。眼中透露著溫和、害羞或精神恍惚。他身材挺拔，但隨著聽力的逐漸喪失，他開始保持警惕的姿態，雖然他的動作仍然匆忙而不受控制。然而，在他被疏忽、古怪、粗魯和令人反感的外表下，他卻擁有一顆高貴、純潔和充滿感情的心，他對自然和人類充滿了愛。他最崇高的作品是對這些感情的崇拜。他喜歡孤獨的步行，走得很遠，幾乎每天都這樣，不論天氣如何。为了能夠無憂無慮地思考、夢想和創作，不受任何困擾的干擾...對於因此而到來的家庭不便（他未婚，因此家庭由女佣任意支配），他在他最喜歡的工作室中找到了賠償，也就是大自然中，在那裡他的一些主要作品不僅誕生，也得到了完善。”
