It is generally agreed that his birthday was December 16 1770, not the 15th.

Never? Well hardly ever.

Johnathan The Poop Demo 🎼 🎺 🎼 AMEN !!!!

I think the same.

Agree, for the most part. However, Holst Jupiter is #1 for me.

Nina, I was ten when I Herd the Eroica symphony, which captured my mind and spirit, I am 82-years young, most of the old masters have written Heavenly Music, in fact, if it was not for those masters', the industrial revolution would never had taken place, it was those masters Music that trained the mind of the masses to concentrate their mind on one thing hours on end, today all you hear is discordant satanic noise, which can not compare in the least degree with the old masters', which are timeless!

Nina sePosey...what a beautiful thought

Satanic discordant voices so true.....neither can they hold their emotions and their fragile egos.....fractals unconcentrative fools

No, you're right on, agreed!

Beethoven wrote phenomenal music in all forms.

I agree! His overtures are like symphonies in condensed form, though I love his symphonies too.

Beethoven an Amazing Man & Composer . .So afflicted was he by many ailments not just his deafness yet his great Fortitude and Dynamic Determination and Dedication overcome the mortal flesh to create such awesome divine transcendental compositions !! Thank you Beethoven for leaving us such a heritage of inspiration .. Beethoven we love you 💖♥️💜

If you think you might be crazy, listen to music of today's, if we could call them music, you soon find out if you are crazy or not, give me the old masters of music any time, I am happy to be crazy by those masters of real music, not some satanic rituals! One uplift your Spirit, whereas today's corrupt your mind and cause discord in your Spirit, which one you sooner have?

But why do just one of the Leonora's?

Con permiso de Bach y Mozart...

Thanks for the information, he was supposedly (though that's not right) the last king of the brutal Assyrian Empire, which fell around 612 BCE. The real history appears to be quite different than the garbled version that led to this painting. Here's the current understanding, from a non-scholarly source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardanapalus

That second painting has to be Flemish? There's an awful lot going on there as well.

@@jduff59 I have been wrong before, but I did a Google search. If I'm wrong, then Google is wrong, and that, too, is entirely possible. If I am incorrect, I do not mind being told.

Are the paintings related to the music? Shows the third one the Fall of Athen?

@@jduff59 the second painting is by Jacob Jordaens: "Le Roi boit", meaning the king drinks, it's in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Bruxelles. And the last one is "The Battle of Salamis" by Wilhelm von Kaulbach.

Y rabia por las cosas feas del mundo.

Cuando necesito coraje oigo a Beethoven. Así es.

Yeah. Adds at the beginning aee one tging but in the middke is un unforgivable

The ads are either plunked down by a stupid human or by a bot that doesn't know when one track stops and the next one begins. Either way this is due to dirty Capitalism and the Comcastization of You Tube, which if you are unlucky enough to have Comcast as your cable provider has more than one third of the air time in an hour taken up by blocks of up to 8 or more ads at a time. I am looking to cut the cable and especially if the internet provider cannot charge for streaming by the gigabyte. Changing the administration in Washington may help this cause as the FCC chair would not be a media insider appointed by a corrupt President of the U.S.
