Listen to the power of the music.(Extract from fifth symphony third movement) Beethovens love of nature was well-known. The countryside calmed and relaxed him and also found its way
10、 into his music. On many occasions when he was struggling to finish a piece of music he would go for a long walk to sort out his ideas. He described this as working while he walked. These walks found their way in his sixth symphony, called the Pastoral symphony or countryside symphony, which is one
11、of his most popular compositions.( Extract from the pastoral symphony)After 1812 his hearing became so bad that he became severely upset. Maybe he felt that nothing good would happen to him again. His musical output almost stopped. But strangely enough, this produced some of his mostemotional music.
12、 His ninth and last symphony, called the choral symphony, was his greatest composition. He used a poem by a German poet to express his feelings of hope and joy.(Extract from last movement of Beethovens ninth symphony)But Beethovens music was not always grand and important. Many of his pieces for the
