Analysis of More on Beethoven



For all his crabby ways
Beethoven was the eternal optimist.
The angry young man in the Fifth Symphony
that could kill, and the peaceful and joyous celebration of the Ninth, he ran the games.
A career person did Beethoven live and die a virgin.
Considering his music it’s just a trivial question.
Raising his fist on his deathbed
life was a hard struggle.
A guy who had to work at his trade.
