This is what Beethoven said. This is what he said when he was composing the Fifth Symphony.
In a letter to his brothers Karl and Yueshang, Beethoven confided in him the growing pain caused by hearing loss and his determination to overcome the disease: "Everyone around me can listen. What a shame that I couldn't hear the sound of death in the distance!
Such a scene once pushed me to the edge of despair and almost forced me to end my life. , my art, only my art wants me to survive." Beethoven once shouted in this dilemma: "I want to hold the throat of fate, it cannot make me surrender completely!"
