This post’s piece is just inevitable! Ali has introduced the form of “Sonata”, and I thought it’s better to put one, here. But this wasn’t the reason. The main reason was departure of my dearest friend. Beethoven wrote this sonata for the same reason. Although this a well-known sonata, and I didn’t want to put very famous pieces in Musicolunia, but it perfectly matched the case. I just don’t wanna write more about it. I suggest you write your thoughts about this sonata, if you haven’t heard of it before, and maybe later, I’ll write something about the reason it was composed.
To Solo!

As some of my friends had told me that they’re not much familiar with Classical music, so I’ve decided to often by often select pieces, hopefully more exciting for them. To understand and enjoy twentieth century music one should generally listen to previous centuries’ music first. So here is a piece from one of the greatest not only musicians, but in my opinion humans of the history: Ludwig van Beethoven.
There’re fortunately lots of works about him, as there should be. He’s that great that even those who have even heard a name of classical music have probably heard this through his name or music. So I won’t write any biography or so.

I just want to write a little about my feelings, when I listen to Beethoven’s music or when I play one of his pieces. One thing I’ve loved about Beethoven from my very childhood up to now is his risings, going up and up, and then suddenly coming down. And then this comes again and again. His music comes like a thunder, followed by a shiny sunny spring afternoon when you want to dream. Later when I get to know classical music better, I liked his impromptus. He was such a genius pianist who, as they’ve told, made his audiences mad through his spectacular impromptus, came to him all by sudden. Though his music is not impromptu at all, yet I believe that some places it’s possible to hear that free, ingenious spirit leading the music apparently. For example it’s the feeling whenever I listen to his HammerKlavier Sonata (Sonata no. 29 for the piano). And of course I should mention his complex forms, making a very high, unreachable tower in his castle of music.
Listening to music is like listening to composers’ internal thoughts, and for Beethoven these are love to human, nature, revolutionary thoughts and of course music.
That’s a lot to write about him, and our feeling about him, I’ll try to write about Beethoven more, in some other time, again.
Here I’ve chosen his Fantasy for the Piano, Chorus, and Orchestra for you, a very joyful piece showing his love for humanity, nature and life.
