Timing & context
This shows a day eating after lessons. When invited out, dinner began at two or three instead.
The letter describes repeated habits rather than one particular day. Concerts sometimes displaced evening composition; their hours are not supplied. The displayed dinner and evening blocks select one documented pattern.
His routine described to Nannerl on 13 February 1782, with variable dinners, concerts and late working hours.
