[ARCHIVED THREAD] - GD needs more Beethoven

Posted: 5/17/2017 1:03:36 PM EDT

I'm going through some rough stuff with my dog Zorro having oral melanoma (spread into his nasal cavity where we can't get to it), and I spend most of my day anxiously thinking about him and maybe the 2-3 weeks we have left.

And I see that GD is going through perpetual rounds of purse-swinging on all sorts of issues.

There's one thing that elevates me and gives me catharsis. Ludwig van Beethoven.

Specifically, the 9th Symphony, 4th movement.

I think GD should just give this a listen. Read the lyrics. It's a message we should all embrace.

Beethoven, Symphony 9, 4th movement (complete) Ode to Joy, Presto, Philharmonia Baroque

Sorry about your dag, OP.

In other news, I can't hear or read "Beethoven" without interpreting as BeefOven.

Some years ago when my Best friend Clark the cat died I found comfort in his 3rd symphony. I know what you are going through. I hope it works out OK.

Yes, Eroica is very stirring. I may play that next. Thank you.

The late string quartets helped get me through a very dark period in my life.
