When she asks why did it have to end he replies, "Because it had to."]     [Fate again inquires, "Why?"]     ["No woman wants to spend her life with a deaf musician, let alone a lady of such high station and beauty."]     [Fate takes them to Beethoven's parlor in 1801. There they see the composer slumped over the piano. He is going deaf and he realizes that it is irreversible. As far as he is concerned, his life is over.]
