This piece and video are dedicated to him. He was a true master of music, blessed by God. There is no doubt Beethoven discovered many of the "secrets" of art - people all over the world enjoy them every day. He believed that art itself had "secrets" that had to be "forced into" in order to obtain art's highest level. And yet, he wrote his life's greatest works after becoming deaf. Imagine that.one of the greatest composers that ever lived could hardly hear. His most prominent secret that he desperately tried to keep from the public and that caused him to be considered extremely eccentric, irritable, and hermit-like was his "weakness." He was deaf during most of his life. ![]() What are Beethoven's secrets? He had many. Try to guess where they are and where they come from! We used 5 different melodies from the 4 movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony (not including the "bridge" the orchestra plays in the middle). Steven Sharp Nelson had soloed with the orchestra the previous year and loved the spirit and the talent that the orchestra showed at such young ages (ages 13-18!) Together we developed the concept of "Beethoven's 5 Secrets," combining OneRepublic's tune "Secrets" with melodies and moments from all four movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. It combined two of the things we are working to accomplish - inviting people to classical music and inspiring young musicians. ![]() The American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic (Youth Orchestra) and its director, Kayson Brown, approached us with this idea. ![]() #thepianoguys #pianocello #beethovens5secrets You can get 1 month for free if you are new to Apple Music!
