He never stayed in one place for very long. There were 30 or 40 different places he lived in Vienna. Because each time he moved he had to take all his stuff with him and of course things might disappear or get damaged. There's one occasion in 1806 where he stayed the summer with Prince Lichnowsky, way out in Silesia. And Beethoven then had a quarrel with Lichnowsky and left in a hurry, and went straight back to Vienna in the middle of a storm. And of course the storm penetrated his trunk and all his music got damaged. And so the autographed score, the Appassionata Sonata is still got damp stained. But that's rather useful because you can tell which sketches had been written before the storm, which one written after the storm. So it helps you to date these sketches.
He spent ten years on and off with a house known as the Pasqualati House. Herr Pasqualati, the landlord, kept the flat underneath Beethoven's empty so he could make as much noise as he liked. One of the first pieces he composed here was the Violin Concerto in D.
