Description
The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written in 1804-1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies. It was first performed in Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1808. Beethoven was in his mid-thirties during this time and his personal life was troubled by increasing deafness. When the score was published, reviewer E. T. A. Hoffmann described it thus:
Radiant beams shoot through this region's deep night, and we become aware of gigantic shadows which, rocking back and forth, close in on us and destroy everything within us except the pain of endless longing, a longing in which every pleasure that rose up in jubilant tones sinks and succumbs, and only through this pain, which, while consuming but not destroying love, hope, and joy, tries to burst our breasts with full-voiced harmonies of all the passions, we live on and are captivated beholders of the spirits.
This is an original painting done in watercolor on paper in 2007. It is fanciful and abstract, intending to show movement through the interplay of lines and colors on a black background.
