Daniel Christlein quotes about Mozart's 41 "c-d-f-e"  theme:

>[...] "In fact it took Beethoven three of his late quartets to develop
>this motif, the germ-motif of all three quartets, with a psychological
>meaning attributed to them by Paul Bekker in his monograph on Beethoven".

Beethoven's "germ-motiv" is not equal to Mozart's.  Both have the same
melodic direction, but quite different intervals (by the way...they sound
different).  Isn't this distinction important?.

>[...] "Beethoven knew the famous four notes.  But he surely knew Mozart's
>G Major Quartet (dedicated to Haydn) and the 'Jupiter' Symphony as well, in
>addition to Haydn's Quartet Fugue in F Minor and his 'Drum-roll' Symphony."

This is a good example of "deduced" evidence.  Psychiatrists knows this as
one of the mechanisms of paranoia.
