Beethoven
...a-musical emotions. The most highest function of music is expressing the musician's experience and organization of it all. Musical phrases are like lines of poetry, in that they both are unique. But, neither of them are isolated in any way. Music uses specimens of work that lead to a certain curiously independent existence. All of the greatest, and some of the worst music in the world suggest spiritual context. All of that music does more than just suggest it; the whole thing is conditioned by the context, and it lives on to express it. We do not know for sure what the significance of murmuring brooks, thunderstorms, and dancing elves may have in the descriptive writer's imagination. Writing music is known as one of the most dreariest branches of literature. The last string quartets, and all the music of every decade before the final period, was the greatest music that Beethoven ever wrote. The character of life as suffering to Beethoven, became a fundamental part of his outlook in life. Beethoven also said, "I will take Fate by the troat," and there is a lot of "will to victory" in his fifth symphony that he wrote.

For him, heroism was not just a name meaning a quality of certain acts, but just a sort of principle manifesting it's own self in life. When Beethoven finished his seventh symphony he wrote, " Almighty One, in the woods I am blessed. Happy everyone in the woods. Every tree speaks through thee. O God! What glory in the woodland! On the heights is peace - peace to serve Him." The key to his spiritual development during his unproductive musical years is found in the statements in Beethoven's journal for the years 1812 and 1813. To today's modern mind suffering is essentially remediable. It is basically due to physical and moral maladjustment. With the correct social theories and the spread of science we all shall be able to abolish it. The only one who could have written the Pa...
