Ludwig van Beethoven is the very
creative composer that I’ve been listening to this month. Beethoven didn’t care
about anything except for one thing, and that was his music. Beethoven’s Symphony
No. 5 is one of the pieces I’ve listened to. It sounds mysterious to me, like
someone is trying to sneak around or trying to find something. Ode to Joy
from Symphony No. 9 is another piece that has great rhythm to it, and it’s
famous because it was the first symphony that included a chorus. Beethoven has
good music!
I am listening to
Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven. In the first few lines it sounds mysterious, and then
it sounds like someone is sneaking around on their tippy toes, then it repeats.
The whole song sounds intense when I listen to it over and over. When I close
my eyes I imagine someone running away from danger. I like this song because it
isn’t as soft as the other symphonies I’ve listened to this year. It’s
definitely dramatic.
I
am also listening to Ode to Joy. In the beginning it starts out soothing
or calming, and then it becomes louder. Beethoven completely lost his hearing
when he wrote Ode to Joy. He could feel the vibrations though. If I was
there, I think I could feel the vibrations too! He also put a chorus in the
middle of his song. Ode to Joy was the first symphony ever to include a
chorus. I like this symphony because it is inspiring to me. He made this song
to be nice, so everyone will enjoy it.
Beethoven
created a lot of good songs when he was deaf. Even though he couldn’t hear it, he
still cared about what people thought of his music. Well, that is what I think,
because you can’t write classical music without an audience to enjoy it! I certainly
do!
