Every minute I spent with FRANK, the profound Beethoven expert during this tour was a dream come true! We walked where Beethoven walked, places where his premieres occurred even though some of them no longer exist as a natural result of 200+ years that have passed. The absolute highlight for me was Frank obtaining my special and private entrance in what used to be the Prince Lobkowitz palace, where in a small room where I stand with him in the pictures which also demonstrate the ceiling thereof, where Beethoven's 3rd Symphony in Eb major, the EROICA Beethoven first conducted a private performance on 9 June 1804, and later the first public performance on 7 April 1805. It is now aptly called the Eroica Room. The general public is not generally allowed currently in, except for Frank's very gracious arrangement with the current owners of the building! I even saw the original door to the Burg Theater where Beethoven's Ninth was performed (see picture). We went to so many places where Beethoven walked and lived. The tour ended at the Pasqualati House where Beethoven lived for 8 years! Even though, my conversation with Frank was so absorbing, we talked for a long while after that! I had a lot of add, ask since I have a devotee since I was a teenager. All in all, a dream of my life came true! Thank you once more, Frank, you made all of my dreams come alive with your tour! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ♥♥♥♥
Dear Enrique, Thank you so much for your kind words, which I will of course pass on to Frank. I am very pleased that he was able to give you such a great and memorable experience with the Beethoven tour. All the best, Julia
