Beethoven, Symphony 7, Allegretto, mvt 2



Easily the most famous and influential of all the composers who ever lived, Ludwig Van Beethoven was gifted with an acute sense of hearing. He was trained from youth on the piano by his father and by his early twenties had become a virtuoso in Vienna. He composed and performed a number of great pieces in a short time. By the age of 26, he started going deaf from tinnitus and eventually had to stop performing altogether. 15 years later, he was completely deaf and from that point he stuck to composing and writing.

His Middle (Heroic) period began shortly after Beethoven's personal crisis brought on by his recognition of encroaching deafness. It includes large-scale works that express heroism and struggle. Middle-period works include six symphonies (Nos. 3–8), including Symphony # 7, which is very dark and brooding.

SONIC STRINGS :: Dixon's Violin

The best music can't be wrapped into neat little packages like genres, labels or even songs. Dixon's Violin is a perfect example. To see this guy play live is an experience. The closest I can compare it to for me, would be a science fiction book I read called In Memory of Whiteness by Kim Stanley Robinson. In a nutshell, it's about a prodigy who travels the solar system playing concerts on this massive one man orchestra. On each planet, the audience experiences a different epiphany.
Don't just listen to me, here's what some of his fans had to say -


"I had some serious visions when you played music to transmute negative energies--a whole creation story of the world in music, starting from the beginning of time, and containing my role in it, explaining why all these painful things had happened to me. Listening to the arpeggios near the end, after the distortion, I could see everything from a vantage, a higher perspective, able to appreciate the marvelous interlocking pattern of dips and swirls that our lives make up. Everything is going to end up beautifully... but the harmony you made is so primal that it keeps drawing me back, and I get lost in the overwhelming wonder of those fundamental world-evoking chords."

"You are a gift to us...I was overcome with tears in my eyes watching you perform"



"I vibrated for hours afterward. Thank you"
