The undersigned may flatter himself that so far during the period of his stay in Vienna he has won a certain amount of favor and appreciation…both at home and abroad.

Nevertheless, he has had to contend with all sorts of difficulties, and as yet he has not been fortunate enough to establish himself here in a position compatible to his desire to live entirely for art….

Since on the whole the aim which he has ever pursued in his career has been much less to earn his daily bread than to raise the taste of the public and to let his genius soar to greater heights and even to perfection, the inevitable result has been that the undersigned has sacrificed to the Muse both material profit and his own advantage.
