For Beethoven, his gift was not the effortless emanations from another world that others, notably Mozart, professed to have. It was a grueling process of organizing his thoughts, a spark of an idea, and then an even more grueling process of revision and refinement. He may have been the best composer of his day, but he may equally have been the hardest working, even as he saw rewards go to lesser talents and other discouragements. Following his realizations in the Heiligenstadt Testament, he ploughed ahead for a shimmering transcendental vision, and ignored daily privations including awkward living circumstances, worries about money, his commerce failing and his decaying hearing.

Ludwig van Beethoven


The music of Ludwig van Beethoven:

Beethoven - Symphony No. 2

This is a legal mp3 by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in the Netherlands, made available by Radio 4 who uploaded a series of ten recordings for download without charge.

And myself. And I'm pretty sure it's the something anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.
