The Last Time
Ádám died in 1827 in Boulogne-sur-Mer at the age of 50 when Franz was just 15 years old. They were staying at a retreat centre for Franz to rest efter a physician's ordination, but instead the father became fatally ill in typhoid fever, and was buried there. Franz composed a funeral piece in conjunction to his father's funeral service.

Famous quotes containing the word time:
“And you’re too fired up to go to sleep, you sit at the kitchen table. It’s really late, it’s really quiet, you’re tired. Don’t wanna go to bed, though. Going to bed means this was the day. This Feb. 12, this Aug. 3, this Nov. 20 is over and you’re tired and you made some money but it didn’t happen, nothing happened. You got through it and a whole day of your life is over. And all it is—is time to go to bed.”
—Claudia Shear, U.S. author. New York Times, p. A21 (September 29, 1993)
