A picture showing Beethoven's audience felt different emotions whilst listening to him play one of his many Piano Cincerto's .Professor Robert Greenberg Writes:
"Beethoven possessed a unique gift for communication. He radiated an absolute directness that makes his music totally accessible. The sheer emotional power of his music is readily understood. His revolutionary compositional ideas are easily appreciated and his nine symphonies are among the greatest achievements of the human spirit. They were revolutionary on every level: harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, formal, dramatic, self-expressive, and emotional. Beethoven led the charge to a totally new era. He threw out the restraint of 18th-century classicism and ushered in romantic self-expression. His symphonic offspring were the first statesmen of this new, musical democracy."
I also came across some Beethoven quote's:"My heart is full of many things.....There are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all"
" I wish you music to help with the burdens life, and to help you release your happiness to others"
" I have thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out: That is the reason why I compose"
