Who is the world-famous Beethoven in China?

China's world-famous Beethoven is the most important musician in the history of human music, and Beethoven has almost become synonymous with music. With a large number of works and high quality, it is not only a classic in the history of music, but also one of the works with the highest performance rate and attendance rate in contemporary times. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all composers after him followed his example and paid deep respect and even worship to him.

As a member of the secular world, Beethoven is like the French writer Roman? Roland described it as a stormy day. He suffered a lot, but he didn't want to be at the mercy of fate. Even though he was deaf, he left a classic. Compared with all musicians before him, he is the most precious except his rare talent and the magnificent power shown in his music. First of all, he thought he was an artist above the king and nobles, and consciously safeguarded his rights as an artist. You know, Bach, Haydn and Mozart, although towering monuments in the history of music, tried their best to create their own precious works, only as Rice and Liang Mou, who were willing to attach themselves to the royal family in personality. Goethe, a great German writer who was contemporary with Beethoven, admired his extraordinary personality, self-esteem and spiritual strength.

People living in the world always need a little spirit. For such a spiritual giant who has left a rich spiritual heritage, people can't help remembering him on this special day. Kroeber, a great German conductor, once joked that the best memory of Beethoven was that he didn't play his works for a year, from which he felt that he was indispensable. Of course, this commemoration is a bit cruel. What we have to do is to hold commemorative activities with piety, from which we can listen to his music again and again, climb spiritual peaks again and again, and get spiritual baptism again and again.

Beethoven belongs to all mankind, so the wave of commemorating Beethoven swept the world. Germany produced a limited edition stamp album in memory of Beethoven. As early as the beginning of the year, concerts of Beethoven's symphonies, chamber music and solo works were often held. Some countries and institutions use their imagination to entrust composers to draw inspiration from Beethoven's works and create new works. In this respect, Vienna in Europe and Tokyo in Asia are at the forefront, which shows that we can commemorate great men in both the West and the East.
