Joachim Wenzl Oppersdorff loved the music. At the same time, in the castle was an excellent Orchestra which the conductor was Haszke. Specifically for the Beethoven castel’s Orchestra played Symphony II. The concert became the beginning of friendly contacts of the composer and count. During his stay at the local Castle Beethoven played himself on several occasions. He also works on the 5th Symphony in C minor, op. 67. The host ordered for 500 guilders. However, difficult material conditions have forced Beethoven in the meantime to resell the ordered work to someone else.
