Note 2 — THIRD PART LIFE'S TROUBLES AND CLOSE. 1823 TO 1827.
Grace Wallace translation
[Footnote 2: "By the word 'Samothracian,' Beethoven alludes to the Samothracian Mysteries, partly grounded on music. Their mutual participation in the Beethoven Mysteries is intended to be thus indicated. Among the initiated were also Brunswick, Lichnowsky, and Zmeskall." [From a note of Schindler's on the subject.]]
