"Ludwig van Beethoven,
the man who inherited...
:01:20
and increased the immortal fame
of Handel and Bach...
:01:25
of Haydn and Mozart,
is now no more.
:01:45
He was an artist,
and who will stand beside him?
:01:50
He was an artist...
:01:53
and what he was,
he was only through music.
:01:58
The thorns of life
had wounded him deeply...
:02:02
so he held fast to his art...
:02:05
even when the gate through which
it entered was shut.
:02:09
Music spoke through a deafened ear
to he who could no longer hear it.
:02:15
He carried the music
in his heart.
