Modernism and post modernism in some way reflect the struggles in Beethoven’s life. The soil that nurtured the seeds of his future artistic expressions was one of pain and suffering. Out of deafness and isolation came the HOPE that “ muss ein lieber vater whonen”. This is not proof but hope. The hope that breeds eternal in the human breast. This is why we need Beethoven! That knowing the darkness breeds the hope that we can improve and the hope for the light at the end of the tunnel. This disconcerting break between what we know and what we want and the idea that we can achieve this is why we need to love and trust Beethoven.
You know, been there done that? Beethoven’s music reflects this balance of dark and light and the never ending argument in evolution that if he can do it we can do it!
Thank you for your comment! And for reading me work :)
