Composer's Heart
In 2012 an urn thought to contain the heart of Carl Loewe was found inside the Szczecin Cathedral's southern pillar during the renovation works carried out that year. A special commission appointed by the Szczecińsko-Kamińska Metropolitan Curia has deducted, on the basis of historical records and an inscription on the pillar, that the urn indeed contains the heart of Carl Loewe.

Famous quotes containing the words composer and/or heart:
“A nation creates music—the composer only arranges it.”
—Mikhail Glinka (1804–1857)
“Nothing is so insufferable to man as to be completely at rest, without passions, without business, without diversion, without study. He then feels his nothingness, his forlornness, his insufficiency, his dependence, his weakness, his emptiness. There will immediately rise from the depth of his heart weariness, gloom, sadness, fretfulness, vexation, despair.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
