Schroeder plays the piano. Lucy leans against the piano and turns around to look at him.<br> <br> She announces, "Beethoven! PHOOEY! He wasn't so great!"<br> <br>"What do you mean, he wasn't so great?!" Schroeder demands hotly.<br> <br> "WELL, HE DIDN'T GET TO BE KING, DID HE? HUH?"<br> <br> Lucy kneels on top of the piano and leans towards him: "HE DIDN'T GET TO BE KING, DID HE? HUH? DID HE???"<br> <br> Schroeder covers his ears as she shouts at him: "DID HE GET TO BE KING? HUH? DID HE? DID HE?!!"<br> <br> "Good grief!" Schroeder puts his head in his hands and collapses on the keyboard. Lucy leans back against the piano and says, "How can anyone be called 'great' if he doesn't get to be king?"<br> <br>

So Lucy’s basically saying that she’s not great because she THINKS she’s great but she’s not a queen.

Five days before Schubert’s death, his and Beethoven’s friend Karl Holz, and his string quartet visited to play for him. The last musical work he had wished to hear was the String Quartet No. 14 Op. 131. Holz commented: “The King of Harmony has sent the King of Song a friendly bidding to the crossing.”
