It has been claimed that Beethoven—in a refusal to perform for some French officers at one of the estates of Karl Alois, Prince Lichnowsky—told the Austrian nobleman in a letter, "Prince, what you are you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am through my own efforts. There have been thousands of princes and will be thousands more; there is only one Beethoven!"
