People so often say,
"Words fail me on this occasion", and Beethoven probably
felt the same. Words fail you when you are
trying to comfort someone who has just lost a child
or a father. And, so, by playing music,
that sort of comforts in a way that words can't, and so
he gets the emotion in the music in a way that one can never
quite do the same with words, so he's actually inspiring
her in that way. MUSIC: Sonata No. 27 in E minor,
Op. 90 by Beethoven
