I hate to say this - but for me it is true. I feel as though, I am in the same predicament as Thayer - so disgusted by Beethoven's behavior and torment that it makes me think differently about Beethoven.
Many of the Gothic peoples of today, admire Beethoven, turn his music into heavy metal riffs. He wrote such dark and kind-of gothically evil music it seems. Yes, I know that many of his melodies have a lighter feel but I feel as though he, let's just was a very dark soul. He beat (physically and verbally) Karl - until he attempted to commit suicide. Poor Karl.
Though, then with all that he had been through - it makes a person wonder what would one be like. He seems so abusive. Though, perhaps he did have a more beautiful side that I cannot see clearly?
And like Charles Hazlewood his music does sound to me like "two dogs fighting" - I cannot connect to it. I connect more to Mozart.
I just don't know what to make of Beethoven? Except that he was dark, a lunatic (except for in his music), mean, perhaps filled with the dark powers, etc.???????
