Wittgenstein was known to be tough on his students and could be pretty explosive. In addition, he was not inclined to debate his convictions unless ...

Wittgenstein was not one to debate his most fundamental convictions. Dialogue with him was possible only if one shared those convictions.

Wittgenstein talked about Beethoven:

"… how a friend described going to Beethoven’s door and hearing him ‘cursing, howling and singing’ over his new fugue; after a whole hour Beethoven at last came to the door, looking as if he had been fighting the devil, and having eaten nothing for 36 hours because his cook and parlourmaid had been away from his rage. That’s the sort of man to be."
