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.

贝1817年的一封信中写道，他想删除一些音乐术语，如表快的快板乐曲、表慢的行板乐曲或表极快的急板乐曲。

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——是他的，因为他曾经读到过， 它是为了唤起一座废墟城堡的形象而写的，当时他觉得这很有趣。
