Abstract
Goethe, the great poet and Beethoven, the likewise great musician had known each other for a long time, but only from a distant. Beethoven, no doubt, had the greatest comprehension of the two. From his infancy he nourished himself with the works of Goethe. He read his works every day and finally Goethe occupied the place of Klopstock in his heart. Beethoven remarks, "Klopstock always wished to die and this happened very soon. Goethe, on the other hand, lived and we all must live with him. This is the reason that his works can be so easily set to music."
