Symphony No.7 in A major op.92, 2^ movement, allegretto. Author: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). Performers: Leonard Bernstein & Wiener Philharmoniker
Most people think that classical music is just boring but I think people like us are most lucky because we find peace in classical music. We find our emotions in it.
Classical and folk music will always be the genres of music closest to my heart, no modern studio produced formulaic pop song or (insert genre of the last 100 years) will ever compare. Culture is a manifestation of a peoples soul and history, which is what makes these genre so full of soul and wonder!
My Music Theory Prof. referred to Beethoven as "The Composer who liberated music". Early on I didn't understand why. With more exposure to his music I caught on. He reimagined chord structure and progressions, creating musical phrases that were truly unique. Simple melodic motifs were transformed into timeless testaments. And of course, his total disregard for the old, formal conventions of classical music. A groundbreaking genius among geniuses. No movement, I believe, better captures the essence of Beethoven, the man, than this one does. Sublime.
I feel like if Beethoven was a piece of his own music, this would be it. It sounds like a man who keeps to himself. A man molded by his past trauma, shrouded in his own ambition, and scorned by the world. He walks alone, and whenever he tried to find love in someone, it backfires. His only form of solitude come in his music. And even then, he’s losing the ability to hear his own creations. This piece perfectly encapsulates his anger, rage, depression, and momentary bliss with it’s almost melancholic motif. The main melody at the beginning of the movement feels like heavy footsteps. I envision Beethoven taking a walk through the countryside, hands behind his back, Frown on his face, thinking deeply about something troubling him. The end of the piece when everything gets quieter with the staccato strings and oboes reminds me of a sleepless night of trying to write music that just won’t come to you. You slowly drift off into sleep knowing that you failed to formulate the idea you had and you’ll never get the same melody back. And as the piece slowly fades to complete silence the next movement begins.
I’m like that, I have wrote some of the greatest indie Anthems of the early 21st Century but when you sell your music, you walk alone, you get paid for it then it’s gone, you try all day with Guitar & Piano to write a song that just won’t happen you get infuriated then just as your about to give up, your body goes slowly into Alpha state which is you on brink of drifting off, then that’s when out of nowhere a masterpiece just comes like my recent Bond Song called Devil May Care, Iv wrote songs in my sleep, I woke up once with a dream of 3 female lead singers doing the greatest song I’d ever written, believe it or not it took me an hour after waking up to realise, yes I can write it, it’s mine lol not the three girls in my dream I honesty believed for an hour it was their song even though they don’t exist, wow Iv written some masterpieces in my dreams once wrote a fully composed, lead parts,mrythm parts, lead guitar solo, piano, a fully written song of over at least 7-10 minutes with all lyrics it was an epic mix of Radioheads paranoid android and queens bohemian rhapsody all written in a dream, it’s amazing how human mind works but I have to credit all my tunes and lyrics to God above, no way could I have come up with lyrics & tunes that come out, if your struggling to write do it just as your nodding off, getting sleepy and you’ll get the shock of your entire life when you write a legendary masterpiece whilst nodding off, it actually does freaken work, please try it whilst keeping yourself sleepy, bet you write a masterpiece in less than 10 minutes, now I can write legendary anthems whilst making a cup of coffee in coffee machine singing along then matching it to correct chords on guitar & piano, try it, these things actually work.
As a writer I really feel that last little bit. It's knowing that it was a good piece, something that might have changed things but it fades and is gone, with merely a sadness at what could have been. All the while the next idea has been beating on the door for the last twenty minutes...well said.
Beethoven was born in 1770 and wrote this in 1811. When it premiered in Vienna in 1813, Beethoven himself conducted the orchestra. He didn't lose his hearing until 1819 (six years before he died in 1827). So he did hear it played.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of classical music I have ever heard in my life. Every time I hear it I get really emotional. One of Berthoven's most important works.
“An old friend once told me something that gave me great comfort. Something he had read. He said that Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died. They simply became music.”
This is dumb but unironically thank you. Felt like everyone here is the type to congratulate you if they see you reading a book, and was low-key afraid I was one of them. Seeing another person that's just a... Person that likes stuff is kinda relieving.
@@TrainedCreeper stop talking nonsense, people just like the music of these composers, and even if they emotionally call them geniuses, I would not say that they would be wrong.
Sitting at my desk with headphones on at full volume (must be trying to become Beethoven, I know) and when the crescendo came around, I felt a tear go out of my eye. I've never cried listening to a song or watching a movie at home until now, this is a very powerful piece.
This recording is from Leonard Bernstein's final concert which ended with Beethoven's 7th. He was dying of mesothelioma and purposefully chose this symphony as the last thing he would ever conduct. He was incredibly weak and tired; he suffered a coughing fit during the movement after this one. Think about that when you hear the Allegretto swell to its two famous crescendos. And how he held it together to conduct one of the most emotional compositions of classical music. When it debuted, the Allegretto drove audiences wild. It still does.
In April, while my family and I were on vacation, we got into a car accident. My brother became brain dead and a few days later was put to rest after giving away some of his organs, per his wishes. Months prior to this, he learned this piece on piano by himself. He played it beautifully. He taught it to my younger brother. My younger brother plays it now with profound sadness, yet with the sadness, he feels comforted by the fact that this piece was taught to him by my older brother. In a way, this anecdote that you commented reminds me of this.
I can't find this exact song in 320kbps. I heard the gramophon cd but its not the same, i think it was restored and in the restored version you are able to hear all the sounds including the cough
Bullshit. How do you really know this is from that performance!?. And I know what performance your talking about. It's the one where he became An old man
@@1upXtraLife Man, relax, it's just music, why don't you just focus on listening to this piece instead of getting into arguments with others? Btw, great music, i love it.
Beethoven's music has always emotionally moved me, since I was a child. This particular Symphony makes my soul mourn, cry, swell with pride & courage with all the emotion.
First time I heard this piece was in "Knowing" with Nicolas Cage. The movie came out when I was 8 years old and I still get goosebumps everytime I recall the apocalypsis scene with this music in the background. Amazing!
I've been listening to this for years and the buildup from 6:00 gets me every time, it's so worth the wait and the calm escalation that turns into pure chaos is so emotional. I love it
@@americantacos7618 he’s talking about a japanese movie called love exposre which I highly highly recommend you to check it out, even though its 4 hours long its still worth it.
@@Bananabeacon wikipedia -> art music. "Art music (alternatively called classical music, cultivated music, serious music, and canonic music[1]) is music considered to be of high phonoaesthetic value.[2] It typically implies advanced structural and theoretical considerations[3] or a written musical tradition.[4] In this context, the terms "serious" or "cultivated" are frequently used to present a contrast with ordinary, everyday music (i.e. popular and folk music, also called "vernacular music").[2] Many cultures have art music traditions; in the Western world the term typically refers to Western classical music."
My Personal Favourite Part is 0:52 to 3:20 The Power, The soul, The Impact, how it builds up just everything about it is Perfect. If I could use one word to describe it, I’d use either Gripping, Perfect or Powerful. 10/10
I agree completely. I think this crescendo is much more powerful than the one later at 6:00. I guess that's why this particular section is used so frequently in movies etc.
you've made so many masterpeices it's hard to say Ninth symphony Appasionata Waldstein Emporer concerto Eroica (3'rd symphony) Pathetique Seventh symphony Les adieux Hammerklavier Fourth concerto And you can put that list in any order you want.
I went to Vienna for a visit about a month ago and everywhere you could see some part from Mozart but there was nothing over there which mentions about Beethoven and that makes me sad.He was as good as the Mozart at music. RIP
He also looks like a deaf genius pianist. Partially deaf people tend not to feel comfortable in crowds/social events, which looks grumpy. Not to say he wasn't moody. I didn't know him. He's probably 30 max in the portrait.
This piece of music has always soothed my soul and spirit. I told my daughter when I die this is something I want played before the real party gets started! Thank you Beethoven 😊
You could do no worse than play the 2nd movement, and then the rollicking "wild party" tone in the 4th! Beethoven's 7th has you covered in both extreme feelings of sadness and then joy!
A contemporary artist reintrepreted this masterpiece , with lyrics from the Elf king by Goethe. Perfect ideea , this is very misterieus, haunting, alluring and beautiful, aetheric and powerful in the same time, just like fairies world. Its almost supranatural , if you listen it several times you ll feel it strange and more then beautuful
My dad got tired of me constantly going on and on about how perfect Mozart was and how much better he was and everybody else and then he told me to listen to this and I think this is the most beautiful wonderful piece of music ever written in the history of the planet Earth
One movement out of the four in this magnificent 7th. No doubt the 2nd movement is so well loved, but the other 3 movements are just as gorgeous. All four movements fit together like tightly-woven gloves.
@@freeguy77 1st) I don't know what w dad means (the 1st comment) 2nd) I apologize sir for taking so long to get back to you...Second, I promise to listen to the other 3 movements and want to thank u for taking the time to read my comment and respond with such a lovely and thoughtfully crafted suggestion. just out of curiosity, have u ever heard Larghetto and Allegretto in E minor sonata by Mozart? Do u like Mozart? I think it's purely blissful, ...but if u listen closely, some of the faster tempos are , to me, way ahead of the time it was written...thoughts?
@@fmiddle2516 You asked the wrong poster on your first comment. You need to reply to emmac1249. He was the one who wrote W dad. I have no idea what that means, either! The other 3 movements are just as good. Maybe not as 'deep' (definitely not 'sad' as this 2nd (Allegretto) is, but my favorite is the 4th, which I remember my h.s. music teacher said it was a 'wild party'. Who doesn't want to listen to a wild party! So much fun, and loved the 4th movement ever since he played it that first time for us. He played many other pieces, and for a partial section of our tests, he played a piece, and we had to write down the composer, title, and movement. Just a wonderful subject besides the harder academic ones, and wish the high school had another, more advanced music one! Beethoven himself conducted it at its premiere on Dec. 8, 1813 in Vienna. His friends made "a repetition of the concert by which Beethoven was extricated from his pecuniary difficulties." (i.e., getting him in a better financial condition) A charity event for wounded soldiers (Battle of Hanau in Oct. 1813). Nothing has changed in 200+ years with charity events for soldiers! Unfortunately, wars keep appearing requiring more of these events!
@@freeguy77 First of all, thank you so kindly for taking the time to write that story to me...I love it! I cant help but to feel slightly down and tough on myself though the way you talk about being so passionate about classical music so much at the high school age! I wasn't ignorant of it, for instance I loved Hungarian rhapsody when I was little and also pachelbell's Cannon but I resented the Nutcracker and couldn't understand why my family loved it, and around age 20 I fell in love with mozarts rondo Alla turk,. But otherwise, I thought classical music was boring and was extraordinarily passionate about the best classic rock, Jerry Garcia band, the best alternative music, and the best reggae and rap, although my rap actually sucked,; I just didn't know it...I'm sooo tired .. Im (because of u) now looking so much forward to listening to that piece now. Thank you! BUT.....,(hehe)...you never told whether or not I liked Mozart's music.
Encored ? Encore veut dire again, alors ça m'étonne de tomber sur ce terme. On parle toujours d'anglicismes, aurait-on affaire ici à un "francisme" ? ¬‿¬
This song is so bittersweet. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling you would have if everything around you started to fade out of existence until only you were left. Left to ponder your mistakes and greatest regrets until you inevitably fade away with the rest of the world.
The ninth symphony not only seems to me the best and most complete (and concise) work of Beethoven, but also of all classical music (and music in general) ... for me there is no music that equates to the fantastic, epic, holy and complete 4th movement of the great Ludwig Van's Ninth Symphony
i finally found it the best version. I’m not a classical music expert but the way the music elevates @2:05 is what sets this interpretation apart from all the others I’ve heard.
@@baronvonlobotomus7530 This isn't actually completely true, Beethoven didn't immediately become deaf. He started to loose his hearing at the age of 28 and it slowly deteriorated until around 45. I am certain he was able to just barely hear this piece. His 9th symphony however he was completely deaf, he maybe heard the odd loud note if he were close enough. Still amazing though, slowly going deaf and still being able to compose such amazing pieces of music.
I find this piece invokes the feeling of constant pain and futility. Like sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill, endlessly. An impossible and fruitless struggle that only serves to break your spirit, but one you can't escape. I've been listening to it a lot while playing Armored Core 6 and dying over and over and over and over again.
@@zachalexander963 I must not have noticed that. A Hershey's commercial? You would think I would have noticed chocolate! ;) I agree, the YT policy of comercials *inside* the video being watched is a disgrace. Bad enough we see them before the video, or after, but *during* should be a no-no! I've seen other videos on YT where it gets obnoxious every 20 min. of a longer video, where it gets interrupted by another commercial.
I fell in love with Beethoven when I grew up. What he wrote is LIFE of every human. The beautiful, painful and yet wonderful life. His music resonates within my soul.
+Chie Wei nice words. u could say this about music in general(not every music oc)...its just a wonderful experience and theres so much of it to explore
Hearing in the night, before the most important exams in my life, i would be sleeping is 11:23 but im thinking about my poor dog, my mom told me that he is suffering too much(you and me now wht does it means) and im planing something to recolect some money to save him :c, and my hopes will increase if i have the better grades in this exams, so wish me lucky, i will need it
The power of this music is absolutely incredible, serene, reflective, and tinged with a deep piercing sadness. The first 3 minutes is like a victorious commander surveying a scene of utter decimation after a ferocious Napoleonic battle. No celebration, just relief and thanks to God for the few lives spared after a Pyrrhic victory.
Shiiit. Thanks buddy. I just watched Knowing and heard this, but I thought.. hold on.. I heard it in some other movie.. so I'm here searching what it was. Sure it was Kings Speach :)
The first time I heard this composition was when I was 13 and I was watching the movie "Knowing" with Nicolas Cage. I was absolutely mesmerized with that moment and I fall in love with this composer
There is genius and then there is real genius. This is unbelievably good. I first heard when I watched "The King's Speech". So grateful to themakers of that film.
The strings are the wind, woodwinds are the larks, tympani the thunder. A story without words only pictures. Incredible for a person with hearing. Think of the silence he heard.
@@vergiltechtip6383 and they will still see these comments of dead men and women LOL. kinda sad but cool. comments frozen in time by other consciousnesses.
@@MuadDiiib Only if the servers these comments are stored on are maintaned until then. Which is unlikely, and hard drives are intricate pieces of technology, it's not like book found in old library or clay tablet buried in ground. It has more risks of losing the information on it, but perhaps future generation will be able to recover small parts of data found in old hard drives. So in a way, to them, we'd be like what medieval monks who wrote books in those times are to us. And they'd be studying youtube comments to figure out how our language worked.
I'm pure rave rawstyle closer to 40 by now of a millennial generation, but hearing pure beautiful Beethoven and many other great conductors calms me in a way no other genre of music can. I hope in our future (millennials) that the classical music never dies. It's looking bad though, I just wish in my heart that it would get more attention in social media...
This is what it sounds like to move on from life’s tragedies and regrets. You feel the ensuing pain and sorrow and the climax of it all and then eventually it all subsides, you feel some hope, time heals your wound and you feel stronger from it. Then in the later parts, the main phrase echoes again as if remembering the memory of the pain but this time accepting the pain with strength and fortitude, as if ready for more to come. Such a moving piece, very human.
Magnificent music will move you like that. It's one of life's great gifts to us. The first time I heard Kiri te Kanawa sing _Beim Schlafengehen_ from Strauss' _Four Last Songs_ , the hair on the back of my neck literally stood up. th-cam.com/video/3XP2chJ6Ujc/w-d-xo.html

Deberías hacer la 10th sinfonia jaja... you really make the 10th symphony...
Do you will release new album?
Do you really think people believe that youre beethoven,I love his songs but just correct me if I got the wrong idea ok,if I did my mistake

Good music is good music, no matter the genre. I love Bach and Beethoven as much as I love the Velvet Underground and the Doors.

@@Tungdil_01 what do you mean by "art music"
@@Bananabeacon wikipedia -> art music.
"Art music (alternatively called classical music, cultivated music, serious music, and canonic music[1]) is music considered to be of high phonoaesthetic value.[2] It typically implies advanced structural and theoretical considerations[3] or a written musical tradition.[4] In this context, the terms "serious" or "cultivated" are frequently used to present a contrast with ordinary, everyday music (i.e. popular and folk music, also called "vernacular music").[2] Many cultures have art music traditions; in the Western world the term typically refers to Western classical music."
This has been my favorite for 10 years now. The power of this song is hard to describe in words.
2nd movement of the 7th Symphony.
@@freeguy77 "nono, hes got a point,"
I know exactly what you mean
My Personal Favourite Part is 0:52 to 3:20
The Power, The soul, The Impact, how it builds up just everything about it is Perfect. If I could use one word to describe it, I’d use either Gripping, Perfect or Powerful. 10/10
If you could only use one word, you'd use three? :)
I agree completely.
I think this crescendo is much more powerful than the one later at 6:00.
I guess that's why this particular section is used so frequently in movies etc.
This is definitely one of Beethoven's best compositions
TRUE
Even Beethoven said that he believed his 7th to be one of his greatest compositions

I went to Vienna for a visit about a month ago and everywhere you could see some part from Mozart but there was nothing over there which mentions about Beethoven and that makes me sad.He was as good as the Mozart at music. RIP
Beethoven's face is like: "Like I give a fuck"
You are the best villain in super mario world xD
He also looks like a deaf genius pianist. Partially deaf people tend not to feel comfortable in crowds/social events, which looks grumpy. Not to say he wasn't moody. I didn't know him. He's probably 30 max in the portrait.
Ludwig Van Koopa 50th like
same goes with me
Likewise
This tune is happy, sad, disturbing, majestic, tragic, beautiful, hopeful, curious and playful at the same time.
Dark and mysterious
Depressing hopeless ass well..a good mixture of contradicting emotions imo
@@geo1667 ass well?!?!
This piece of music has always soothed my soul and spirit. I told my daughter when I die this is something I want played before the real party gets started! Thank you Beethoven 😊
You could do no worse than play the 2nd movement, and then the rollicking "wild party" tone in the 4th! Beethoven's 7th has you covered in both extreme feelings of sadness and then joy!
@@freeguy77 do you mean 'you could do no better'?

Possibly the best classical piece ever. Such elegance. Such darkness. Such beauty.

Its almost supranatural , if you listen it several times you ll feel it strange and more then beautuful
Could not have said ti better my self.
One of the most evocative pieces of music ever written. If this doesn’t make you feel things you’re a robot
Ai can't be used to produce anything like this, imao.
Damn, I feel attacked.
My dad got tired of me constantly going on and on about how perfect Mozart was and how much better he was and everybody else and then he told me to listen to this and I think this is the most beautiful wonderful piece of music ever written in the history of the planet Earth
W dad
One movement out of the four in this magnificent 7th. No doubt the 2nd movement is so well loved, but the other 3 movements are just as gorgeous. All four movements fit together like tightly-woven gloves.
@@freeguy77 1st) I don't know what w dad means (the 1st comment)
2nd) I apologize sir for taking so long to get back to you...Second, I promise to listen to the other 3 movements and want to thank u for taking the time to read my comment and respond with such a lovely and thoughtfully crafted suggestion. just out of curiosity, have u ever heard
Larghetto and Allegretto in E minor sonata by Mozart? Do u like Mozart? I think it's purely blissful, ...but if u listen closely, some of the faster tempos are , to me, way ahead of the time it was written...thoughts?
@@fmiddle2516 You asked the wrong poster on your first comment. You need to reply to emmac1249. He was the one who wrote W dad. I have no idea what that means, either! The other 3 movements are just as good. Maybe not as 'deep' (definitely not 'sad' as this 2nd (Allegretto) is, but my favorite is the 4th, which I remember my h.s. music teacher said it was a 'wild party'. Who doesn't want to listen to a wild party! So much fun, and loved the 4th movement ever since he played it that first time for us. He played many other pieces, and for a partial section of our tests, he played a piece, and we had to write down the composer, title, and movement. Just a wonderful subject besides the harder academic ones, and wish the high school had another, more advanced music one! Beethoven himself conducted it at its premiere on Dec. 8, 1813 in Vienna. His friends made "a repetition of the concert by which Beethoven was extricated from his pecuniary difficulties." (i.e., getting him in a better financial condition) A charity event for wounded soldiers (Battle of Hanau in Oct. 1813). Nothing has changed in 200+ years with charity events for soldiers! Unfortunately, wars keep appearing requiring more of these events!
@@freeguy77 First of all, thank you so kindly for taking the time to write that story to me...I love it! I cant help but to feel slightly down and tough on myself though the way you talk about being so passionate about classical music so much at the high school age! I wasn't ignorant of it, for instance I loved Hungarian rhapsody when I was little and also pachelbell's Cannon but I resented the Nutcracker and couldn't understand why my family loved it, and around age 20 I fell in love with mozarts rondo Alla turk,. But otherwise, I thought classical music was boring and was extraordinarily passionate about the best classic rock, Jerry Garcia band, the best alternative music, and the best reggae and rap, although my rap actually sucked,; I just didn't know it...I'm sooo tired .. Im (because of u) now looking so much forward to listening to that piece now. Thank you! BUT.....,(hehe)...you never told whether or not I liked Mozart's music.
Those first 3 minutes.. my favourite piece of music of all time. Period

When this symphony debuted in 1813, it received a standing ovation. The orchestra immediately encored this movement.
🤜🤛
You state it as if you were there, how was it?

@@seigneurnoir7096 oui
@@MrShears100 it was fire, girls were throwing their bras and panties at Beethoven
So dark, tragedy at its prime and yet so lovely my favorite no shadow of doubt.
Tears fall by themselves.Deep emotive music from soul of great BEETHOVEN.
This song is so bittersweet. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling you would have if everything around you started to fade out of existence until only you were left. Left to ponder your mistakes and greatest regrets until you inevitably fade away with the rest of the world.
the void inside overwhelms the scenery.
Nicely put.
perfect description
I fail to see the sweet part in such a bitter scenario.
Do you have the lyrics to the song?
This is my favorite Beethoven symphony.
I plead the Fifth.

Symphony no.9 for me, it just sounds holy and idealistic.
The ninth symphony not only seems to me the best and most complete (and concise) work of Beethoven, but also of all classical music (and music in general) ...
for me there is no music that equates to the fantastic, epic, holy and complete 4th movement of the great Ludwig Van's Ninth Symphony
I challenge anyone with a good heart to listen to this piece without having goosebumps
hits even harder after a rejection
No goosebumps, sorry not keen on violins; prefer his 5th
Try not to smile: impossible challenge, this piece just naturally makes me happy
i finally found it the best version. I’m not a classical music expert but the way the music elevates @2:05 is what sets this interpretation apart from all the others I’ve heard.
I agree sir
That's the magic of Bernstein
The level of skill required to compose music as perfect as this is incomprehensible to me. He truly was one of the greatest.
And while being deaf as well. Completely amazes me.
@@baronvonlobotomus7530 This isn't actually completely true, Beethoven didn't immediately become deaf. He started to loose his hearing at the age of 28 and it slowly deteriorated until around 45. I am certain he was able to just barely hear this piece.
His 9th symphony however he was completely deaf, he maybe heard the odd loud note if he were close enough.
Still amazing though, slowly going deaf and still being able to compose such amazing pieces of music.
Is the greatest...
No , he was the greatest
@@samdenham5991 lose not loose
It's always nice to hear the soul of man
Yes. That's art.
I find this piece invokes the feeling of constant pain and futility. Like sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill, endlessly. An impossible and fruitless struggle that only serves to break your spirit, but one you can't escape. I've been listening to it a lot while playing Armored Core 6 and dying over and over and over and over again.
Who else has become addicted like me to this masterpiece?
Same, I can listen to it over and over and hear a different "story". Love it so much.
@@katiegrider Yes, that's so true. We listen to a different story according to our mood. Simply awesome!
This song came out in 1812.

How can one song be so tragically beautiful💜
Makes me cry!!! Heard it in 1983 on Cosmos episode with Carl Sagan I believe when I was a teenager.
Nothing is worse than a musician losing his hearing...and this man still wrote music like this.
He never lost it all. But he was severely impaired by what amount he did lose.
What’s worse is said musician’s piece being interrupted twice by a Hershey’s commercial. TH-cam is a disgrace.
@@zachalexander963 I must not have noticed that. A Hershey's commercial? You would think I would have noticed chocolate! ;) I agree, the YT policy of comercials *inside* the video being watched is a disgrace. Bad enough we see them before the video, or after, but *during* should be a no-no! I've seen other videos on YT where it gets obnoxious every 20 min. of a longer video, where it gets interrupted by another commercial.
Beethoven didn't need ears to hear music! Music was playing in his head!
I fell in love with Beethoven when I grew up. What he wrote is LIFE of every human. The beautiful, painful and yet wonderful life. His music resonates within my soul.
+Chie Wei nice words. u could say this about music in general(not every music oc)...its just a wonderful experience and theres so much of it to explore

You save my time
Quick maths
The power of this music is absolutely incredible, serene, reflective, and tinged with a deep piercing sadness. The first 3 minutes is like a victorious commander surveying a scene of utter decimation after a ferocious Napoleonic battle. No celebration, just relief and thanks to God for the few lives spared after a Pyrrhic victory.
probably my favourite piece of classical music
I admit I heard this song on the Movie “kings speech”
The song hit me like a ton of bricks. Beyond beautiful and frightening as well.
Shiiit. Thanks buddy. I just watched Knowing and heard this, but I thought.. hold on.. I heard it in some other movie.. so I'm here searching what it was. Sure it was Kings Speach :)

I'm pure rave rawstyle closer to 40 by now of a millennial generation, but hearing pure beautiful Beethoven and many other great conductors calms me in a way no other genre of music can.

I don't usually listen to classical music but this is other worldly. I'm envelope by it
This is what it sounds like to move on from life’s tragedies and regrets. You feel the ensuing pain and sorrow and the climax of it all and then eventually it all subsides, you feel some hope, time heals your wound and you feel stronger from it. Then in the later parts, the main phrase echoes again as if remembering the memory of the pain but this time accepting the pain with strength and fortitude, as if ready for more to come.
Such a moving piece, very human.
I like your interpretation
