- It does not deal with God, but he preaches a spiritual conversion. His music has a design life that is not illusory. must transcend to escape pain, into joy and in a relationship in full harmony with nature and events.
- His music is not it a combination of tragedy and optimism?
- This is where I identify with him. Although our lives are fleeting, Beethoven magnifies the meaning of life. It shows the path of heroism.

- I like to think he fell asleep happy. His last quartet attests. The notes celebrate the accomplishment, existential, moral and spiritual.
- And you?
