with his "heart", and then put this thinking into music, turning music from a tool of entertainment into a language of expression, expressing complex and changeable emotions, self
and will in his heart. It conveys the feeling of self, big, secret and
, thus greatly enriching the expressive force of music and making music the carrier of thought and the destination of the soul.

skills. Not only is it described from far to near and from top to bottom,
, but it is also vivid in form. From the
of Beethoven, his life experience, personality and unique spiritual world are shown: his clothes are "very old and even untidy", his clothes are "delayed", "long overdue" and "sad".

let the guests in without his permission. He was surprised at what they did.
2. Why did Beethoven say that "a tree is better than a person"?

Music becomes his loyal friend, soothes his heart and conveys his heart. Friends will leave and misunderstand him, but music will not. Music will always accompany him.

Beethoven's greatness lies in more than one
