Beethoven wrote in an 1817 letter that he wanted to drop musical terms like " allegro" for fast, " andante" for slow, or " presto" for extremely fast.

多芬在1817年一封信中写道，他想删除一些音乐术语，如表快快板乐曲、表慢行板乐曲或表极快急板乐曲。

The andante—the third movement—is his favorite, he explains, because he read once that it was written to evoke the image of a castle in ruins, which he found darkly funny at the time.

他解释说，行板——第三乐章——是他最喜欢，他曾经读到过， 它是了唤起一座废墟城堡形象而写，当时他觉得这很有趣。
