Happy Birthday Herr Beethoven! · 2:53pm Dec 17th, 2015
Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,
As of today, it is the 245th birthday of not only one of the greatest composers that ever lived, but the most influential. The music of Ludwig van Beethoven has no doubt made an impact on not just western music, but to the history of art as a whole.
Even if you never heard of the name, his music such as the Moonlight Sonata, the 5th Symphony, or his famous Ode to Joy has not only been heard throughout the world, but has helped shape it too in what we are, and what we want to become. His biography of becoming deaf at the age of twenty-six has given him the image of the tortured (if not misunderstood) genius. He had used both the passion and pain of his life to create music in his own way to express the very sounds that he could no longer hear.
And here, I honor him by not only wishing him a happy birthday, but to also share the very music which was considered his most favorite composition. On in which had revolutionized music that gave birth to the rage of Rock and the wild passion of Modern Jazz, and the great music that inspired Paganini, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Wagner, Mahler, and countless others.
A revolution that all began with two, very loud notes. So turn it up the volume for Beethoven's 3rd Symphony.
Your fellow writer and closeted Brony,
-CrackedInkWell.
