Beethoven And Freedom

There are rare moments when the triumph of the human spirit lifts us into a higher state of being. We look at perfect strangers and see the better angels of our nature, and shed the pettiness and petulance of daily life. We feel the touch of the infinite and feel the fullness of our freedom, because man is only free as a moral agent. And in such moments we hearken to the composer of freedom, whose 250th birthday falls this Dec. 16.

Honoured to create this 2 day turnaround piece for The Tablet Magazine for a wonderful piece by David P. Goldman that fell on Beethoven's 250th Birthday.
