Ludwig Van Beethoven - Ninth Symphony

Music speaks its own language, which may be understood by a baby or even by a hearing-impaired musician like Beethoven.It has a way of bring people together with its harmony and rhythm and of helping people escape from their daily problems, if even for a few moments. For that reason, the great composers, many of whom sacrified personal happiness for their art, are remembered as heroes. Perhaps Beethoven stated it most eloquently when he wrote the dedication atop his astounding Ninth Symphony : In spite of his personal suffering , the music was :                                                           "From the heart - may it go to the heart."
