Beethoven's day-to-day
everyday life was so, kind of, hectic and dysfunctional
in many ways, he was able to create the life he wanted in his music... ..because it has love, passion,
tears, embraces - everything is there. I thank all those women
who rejected him because he put all that passion
into the music. In one of his rare flashes
of self-understanding, Beethoven writes to a publisher
at one point, "Everything I do outside music
is badly done and stupid." MUSIC: Fur Elise
