This particular music is an exact musical quote from the Beethoven portrait from “Symphonic Suite No. 1." It is the first twenty bars (or so) from the strings section.

Art Information

Aside from Jimi Hendrix, Ludwig is one of my favorite subjects to create. Whenever I look at his handwriting, I see his musical thinking. His ideas just spill out onto the paper. “Bah-da-da-dum."
