In honor of his birthday, I listened to his 9th Symphony after getting out of the shower in preparation for dressing. Thanks for the heads up Occhi, I don't listen to him enough.
I really feel as though people don't give his work enough credit. Too many people hear "classical music" and just instantly turn their ears off. There's so much power and feeling to his music that it just envelops you. If more people actually gave Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc. a chance I think that they would be pleasantly surprised.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
