- It’s difficult to fathom the scope of suffering on account of current events, but that suffering is indeed profound. Words lose meaning, as do numbers, and the world generally becomes a dimmer, greyer place. In the midst of grieving moments, it’s essential to connect with the humanity in ourselves and in others.
This simple track attempts to capture the essence of that humanity in one piece of music. The piece is Beethoven’s 13th string quartet, the 5th movement: Cavatina. Already completely deaf by this point, Beethoven would have since come to terms with the fact that he would never again hear any of his creations. This was a great loss, of course, and yet some of the best works he ever conceived came from this lonely, silent period in his life.
When the Voyager spacecraft launched its own lonely journey in 1977 it contained a golden phonograph record. An archive of sounds, speech, and music from a wide variety of peoples and cultures for whoever or whatever was destined to come upon it. The record ends with the very piece you hear in this video.
