Ludwig van Beethoven




Portrait by Joseph Karl Stieler
(1820)


"I make many changes, and reject and try again, until I am satisfied."












German Composer and Pianist


1770 -1827

















Writers rewrite their material.  Artists draw and sketch before beginning the final painting.  Musicians rewrite their compositions.  Rarely is a creative work finished in the mind of the creator.  He is continuously revising and recreating.  Most writers and artists spend their lives exploring a few key themes.  They write the same novel over and over or paint the same painting again and again.  What are the themes that you are exploring in your creative work?  





For your listening pleasure as you think, here is Beethoven's Tempest Sonata performed by Wilhelm Kempff.
