Excerpts from the most wonderful passages of Beethoven's Biography of Who's Who

I've read the book "Celebrity Biography" a long time ago, but the notes were sent out very late, and now they are sent out, hoping to give strength to all my friends. This book used to give me infinite strength, so I recommend it to all my friends.

The Biography of Beethoven

Life is hard. In the unwilling to be mediocre, it is a struggle that takes place day and day, often tragic, without glory, without happiness, in the struggle between loneliness and silence. Poverty, daily worries, heavy and foolish labors, weighed down on them, draining their energies uselessly, without hope, without a single light of joy, most of them still isolated from each other, without even the comfort of a helping hand to the brothers in distress, unaware of each other's existence. They can only rely on themselves; but sometimes even the strongest people are inevitably caught in the midst of suffering. They asked for help, a friend.

In order to help them, I gathered around them friends of the general heroes, the great hearts of the general who suffered for the sake of goodness. These "celebrity biographies" are not addressed to the pride of careerists, but to the victims. And who is not actually the victim? Let us offer the anointing of divine suffering to those who are in pain! We are not alone in battle. The darkness of the world is illuminated by the candlelight of God. Even today, near us, we see many of the purest flames, justice and freedom: the Pygmado and the Purr nation. Even if they hadn't swept away the thick darkness, at least they had shown us the way in a flash. Follow them. Let's destroy the barriers of time and regenerate the hero's race.

I am not a hero by thought or strength; I am only a man of greatness by heart. As the greatest of them all said, the man we are going to recount his career said: "I do not recognize any sign of superiority other than mercy." "Without great character, there are no great men, not even great artists, great actors; all knowledge of some empty idol, matching the lowly masses: time will destroy them all at once. What does success or failure have to do with it? It's about being great, not being great.

Almost all of these biographies are long-term sufferings. Or a tragic fate that wears their souls in physical and spiritual suffering, exercises themselves on the anvils of poverty and disease; or witnesses their compatriots suffering from nameless humiliation and calamity, and their lives are killed and their hearts broken, and they live forever in tribulations; they certainly have the remaining perseverance to become great, but they also become great because of disasters. So O unfortunate people! Do not be too grumpy, the best of humanity is with you. Draw on their courage to feed us; if we are too weak, rest our heads on their laps for a while. They will comfort us. In these divine hearts, there is a clear force and a strong love that springs up like a torrent. Without even having to explore their works or listen to their voices, in their eyes, in their deeds, they can see that life has never been as great, so full, so happy as in times of suffering.

In this heroic rank, I give the chief to beethoven who is strong and pure. In the midst of their suffering, they had hoped that his example would support other victims, "and may the unfortunate man, seeing a victim as unfortunate as he is, in spite of the obstacles of nature, do everything in his power to become a worthy man by which he can masturbate." After years of superman's success and effort, overcoming his suffering, and accomplishing what he called "braging courage to poor mankind," the victorious Prometheus replied to a friend who had mentioned God to him, "Oh man, you help yourself!" ”

Undoubtedly, it will take a considerable amount of time for the mind to become accustomed to sorrow. It needs to be changed in that way, and it has to be created by itself when it actually has no joy. When the "now" is too cruel, it lives in the "past.". The wonderful years of the past cannot be destroyed at once; when they cease to exist, the light will shine for a long time.

There is a passage in his will that says, "Teach virtue to our children; it is virtue, not money, that makes people happy." That's my experience. What supports me in my tribulations is morality, and what keeps me from committing suicide is morality in addition to art. Another may 2, 1810 to W. Vegler: "If I did not know that a man should not end his life when he can accomplish good works, I am long gone, and it is because of my own execution." "His last hope of recovery is gone." Even the courage that had always supported me was gone. Oh God! Give me a day of real happiness, even a day! I haven't heard the far-reaching figure of joy for long! When, oh! My God, when will I be able to meet it again? ...... Never? - No, it's too cruel! ”

It was a dying lament; but Beethoven lived for 25 years. His strong nature cannot succumb in the face of tribulations. "My physical strength and intellect have improved by leaps and bounds... My youth, yes, I feel that my youth has only just begun. I glimpsed a goal that I couldn't be sure of, and I approached it every day... Oh! If I get rid of this disease, I will embrace the world! ...... Some rest is not available! I don't know what rest I have but sleep; and poor me have to spend more time on sleep than I used to. Hopefully I'll be half freed from the disease: then! ...... No, I can't stand it. I'm going to choke the throat of fate. It must not bring me to complete submission... Oh! How beautiful it is to be able to live people thousands of times! ”

He wrote in his notes: "Yield, yield deeply to your destiny: you can no longer exist for yourself, you can only exist for others; for you, there is happiness only in your art." Oh, my God! Give me the courage to conquer myself! ”

On May 7, 1824, the first concert of the Mass in D and the Ninth Symphony was held in Vienna with unprecedented success. The heat of the situation is almost insurrective. When Beethoven appeared, he was welcomed by the crowd five times; in this courteous country, it was customary to use only three applause for the appearance of the royal family. So the police had to intervene. The symphony caused a frenzied commotion. Many began to cry. Beethoven fainted after the finale; everyone carried him to Schindler's house, where he slept dimly with his clothes on, drinking or eating until the next morning. But the victory was temporary, and there was no pressure on Beethoven. Concerts didn't make him any money. The embarrassment of material life remains the same. He was poor, sick, lonely, but he had triumphed—over the mediocrity of mankind, over his own destiny, over his suffering.

Dear Beethoven! How many people have praised his artistic greatness. But he was far from being the first of the musicians, but the most heroic force of modern art. For those who generally suffer and struggle, he is the biggest and best friend. When we are sad about the calamity of the world, he will come to us, as if sitting next to a mother in mourning clothes, without a word, singing his stoic lament on the piano, comforting the weeping. When we are immersed in the vulgarity of virtue and goodness, when we struggle to the tired light, when we are immersed in this ocean of will and faith, we will receive ineffable benefits. What he gave us was a courage, a joy of struggle.

An unfortunate man, poor, meals, loneliness, man caused by suffering, the world does not give him joy, but he creates joy to give to the world! He casts joy with his suffering, as he does in that bold phrase—that is, which sums up his life, that can become the motto of all heroic hearts: joy in exchange for pain.

"Thoughts"

The most beautiful thing is to get close to the gods and spread their light on the earth.

Why do I write? What I have in my heart must be revealed, that's why I write.

Can you believe it? When the gods spoke to me, I was thinking of a sacred violin and writing down everything it sued me about.

According to my custom of composing music, when making instrumental music, I have all the outlines in front of my eyes.

Once my work is finished, I have no habit of revising it again. Because I believe that the transformation of parts is enough to change the character of the work.

When your student is properly fingered on the piano, the beat is accurate, and the notes are played in a fairly good way, you just need to pay attention to the style, don't block him in a small mistake, and only wait for the end of the song to tell him... This method can cultivate "musicians", which is the first purpose of musical art.

I thought, as Voltaire did, "A few flies take a few bites, and you must not keep a heroic galloping horse." ”

As for the jealous, the only way to do it is for them to say it. Their tongues must not immortalize anyone, nor can they deprive Apollo's designated men of their immortality.
