I have been recently listening to Beethoven’s 9th symphony. When studying and while working. What I enjoy the most is the range of emotion present in the music. The build up, the slow back and forth and the triumphant conclusion. I am by no means a musical scholar, so from my untrained ear, what I believe brilliant about it all is Beethoven succeeds in capturing many themes. The change of seasons and or the change in individuals.
The Ode to Joy. Reminiscent of everything we know that brings us to smile and meet satisfaction. A stranger’s smile. Conversations with parents. The energy of a child. The unselfish thought of a friend. I could go on and go into more detail, but happiness is so personal.
