🎂 Ludwig van Beethoven 🎶
🎂 📆 17 Dezember 🎂
It’s unclear when Beethoven was actually born, but
December 17th marks the 245th anniversary of his baptism.
Celebrating Ludwig van Beethoven's 245th year with this firework display shot from a drone flying through the fireworks, set to the most upbeat parts from his Symphony No. 9 - Ode to joy (also known as the Choral).
The fireworks shown are recorded in the Bulgarian city of Karlovo and are made by Assiko Fireworks company.
Ludwig’s father, a middling singer in the Elector’s court and a man too often in his cups, pulled the precocious child out of school at the age of ten in hopes of earning some money on the shoulders of his talent (as a result, his handwriting was so bad that musicologists still struggle to authenticate his signature).
He lost two siblings prematurely, had to assume full responsibility for his family as a teenager, fell madly for unrequiting lovers twice, and, most famously, began losing his hearing at the peak of his career.
Despite all of this, Beethoven’s music prevailed.
As Mozart reputedly said, “one day, [that boy] will give the world something to talk about.” That he certainly did. Sure, he may have raised his voice a few times, but he could overwhelm his friends with excessive kindness and generosity just the same.
And while his romances brought him more anguish than happiness, would we have Für Elise or Moonlight Sonata if they hadn’t?
Today provided us a rare opportunity to construct a game in step with beautiful music, whose evocative moods, drama, lightness, and depth made conjuring visuals to match it rollickingly fun. Here’s to one of history’s greatest artists, and to hoping that, wherever you happen to be traveling this holiday, your life’s work isn’t eaten by a horse.
