BEETHOVEN'S COUNTRY MUSIC

I like large cities but I prefer my small town near farmers' pastures and open spaces of the country. Architecture, culture and frenetic energy of urban life is exciting but the symphony of nature and rhythms of rural life speaks to my soul. The presence of God can be found in a quiet afternoon in the country or a violent storm with thunder-claps that rattles the windows of my little house and lightening that lights up the night sky.

Ludwig van Beethoven's love of nature. Someone has said that he found his equilibrium in the country. It was Beethoven's love of nature that inspired his beloved 6th Symphony.
