Christmas Message
Happy Christmas to one and all!
Very few people these days take much notice of the spiritual significance of Christmas, but Beethoven was of course a deeply religious man so here is a quote he himself copied out in his journal
"Blessed is he who has overcome all passions and then proceeds energetically to perform his duties under all circumstances careless of success! Let the motive lie in the deed, not in the outcome. Be not one of those whose spring of action is the hope of reward"
- he added in his own words ' Do not yet your life pass in inactivity. Be industrious, do your duty, banish all thoughts as to results.'

'Man know thyself'
