Beethoven symphonies were flabbergasting his music would light up the whole entire stage it would be soft and emotional the the next it would be harsh and unforgiving it would be a storm brewing and boom lightning strikes everywhere then it would change to a field full of flowers and nature at its max. His music reached out to the people and it is still seen today with the Grand Rapids Orchestra.
