My favourite composer. Ludwig van Beethoven.

 

Sweet sounds, oh beautiful music, do not cease!
Reject me not into the world again
With you alone is excellence and peace,
Mankind made plausible, his purpose plain.

E. St. Vincent Millay

 

There is only one way to come to understand music by learning to play a musical instrument whether an external one like the piano or flute or by training the human voice to become an instrument. As for me I neither play any musical instruments nor sing, and yet I think IТm rather musical. As a matter of fact my mother is a pianist so music has always been part and parcel in our family. I still remember the sounds of HaydnТs minuets, ChopinТs waltzes, MozartТs concertos, BeethovenТs sonatas slithering and shattering over our flat. Since then classical music has completely come into my life. But at all times I was mostly enraptured with Beethoven and his compositions.

Ludwig van Beethoven - a famous German composer, one of the greatest composers of the world, a piano player and a conductor was born in 1770 in Bonn. Despite his difficult life particularly hearing disorders developing into deafness Beethoven became the most prominent symphonist, a creator of a heroic style in music, which has most clearly shown the principals of the Vienna classical school and opened the way to German musical romanticism. The philosophical ideas modern to Beethoven including the ideas of the great French revolution, were reflected in his creative work. His 3rd (УEroicaФ), 5th and 9th  (УChoralФ after ShillerТs УOde to joyФ) symphonies, overtures УKoriolanФ, УEgmontФ, УLeonoraФ є2 and є3, opera УFidellioФ are truly heroic. Beethoven is the author of 32 sonatas for a piano, 10 sonatas for a violin and a piano, 16 string quartettes, 4 trio for stringed instruments, 5 piano concerts, a concert for a violin, triple concert for a piano, violin and Сcello and other variations for different instruments. He had extended the frames of a sonata-symphonic form and deepened the contents of the chamber Ц instrumental and vocal music of a concert manner.

As for my personal understanding of BeethovenТs music, I can say that every time IТm going to listen to one of his compositions I think itТll probably be clean above my head. But as a rule it is always some time before I make much out of it. BeethovenТs music evokes a good deal of various emotions in me. Sometimes I feel IТm just about to shout at the splendour of his music. The sounds in a rich unison are sweeping on, and I feel as if I were ten feet high and had a thousand years to live. But in a minute or two this glory of sound disappears and there is muddle and gloom. Thus while BeethovenТs musical style is always recognizable it is never predictable.

Sometimes his sound scale is soft and sad, sometimes it is quiet and happy. Another time great mournful sounds come reeling out, like doomed giants. They can be muffled and doleful, squeaking and rushing at the same time. But the tone values, the pure musical colouring are superb!

BeethovenТs compositions are characterized by an unusual external magnificence and the presence of the huge orchestral and choral strength. Such common human feelings as suffering and hope are expressed in his compositions. Or quite on the contrary, they are full of graceful impulses of joy and ideas of the greatness of the universe.

To sum it up IТd like to say that I owe my love of serious music to my mother and IТm so much grateful to her that once she gave me a chance to come closer to BeethovenТs music, marvelous and stunning, which still inspires me and makes my heart beat faster!
