再见，愿你们相亲相爱，感谢我所有的朋友，尤其是李赫诺斯基亲王和许密特教授。我希望你们两人中有一个人能替我保存李赫诺斯基亲王送给我的那些乐器，但不要为此引起争执。一旦这些东西对你们有更大的用途时，你们可以把它们卖掉。我在九泉之下，还能对你们有所帮助，我将感到多么高兴啊！我将坦然迎接死神，但如果在没有发挥我的全部艺术才能之前死去，我觉得还是太早了些。尽管命运坎坷，我恐怕还是希望那一天晚些到来。不过，即使早死，我也会心满意足的。这样不就能把我从无穷无尽的苦难中解脱出来吗？你们愿意什么时候来就来吧，我会鼓起勇气见你们的。再见，我死后不要很快就把我忘掉。你们不应该这样，因为我在世的时候是如此想念你们，并想着如何使你们快乐。但愿……
