I remembered that Beethoven's symphonies had sometimes been given names... they should have call [the Fifth] the Vampire, because it simply refused to lie down and die.

About This Quote

Beethoven was known for his long life and he died at the age of fifty-seven. He suffered from severe deafness and could not hear well. He composed his fifth symphony in 1827 at the age of fifty-seven. The music came to be called the "Vampire" because its mood was so dark. At the end of the symphony, Beethoven said that "it must be sent into the world to bring courage, consolation and strength."
