Pathetique haiku Beethovens birthday And whats the great man up to? Why, decomposing How come Beethoven Seldom could find his teacher? Cause he was Haydn But seriously, Inexhaustible genius Defined Beethoven Say buh-bup-uh-BUH Chances are you heard the start Of Beethovens 5th Should anyone doubt Musics power to move us Play some Beethoven Almost anything Beethoven wrote should stir them If not, check their pulse You dont have to get Classical music -- I dont -- You just have to hear Soaring symphonies Tender sonatas, quartets Spanning all feelings And he wrote so much While going deaf, and after. Can you imagine? Thought of suicide Thought better, and persevered More masterpieces Conducting the 9th Couldnt hear the ovation He turned, saw -- and wept The human story Pain, sorrow, inspiration Spirit triumphant
