The Maid of Orleans
Naue went to Vienna to study briefly with Ludwig van Beethoven. On November 23, 1823 Beethoven dedicated his three-part canon ""Kurz ist der Schmerz"," WoO 163, to Naue. The text "Kurz ist der Schmerz und ewig ist die Freude" ("Brief is the pain and forever is the joy"), is from "The Maid of Orleans" by Friedrich von Schiller, the same poet who wrote the text for Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."
