Bargain Sale in all Household Articles PHONE 4948 time and time again in rising superipr to his fits of melancholy although he early anticipated and indeed, was soon aware, of how little earthly happiness yya§ to be granted to him. In the so-called "Heiligenstadt” testament, written for his brothers during his grave, illness and in its profound ethical sentiment^, one of the grandest of human documents, Beethoven writes: "I almost took my own life. It is only art that restrained me. Alas, it seemed impossible to leave the world before I had produced all that I felt I would create. And thus I managed to live this wretched life.” Could any artist be more impelled to write a veritable "symphony of fate than this sorely-tried man? This symphony, which is without any-external programme, is constructed according to purely musical laws despite the abundance of ideas contained in the work and is really a model example of the classical symphony. The first movement contains two opposing principal ideas: the dominating "fate theme ״ and a tender, consoling theme. The fate theme, however, chiefly carries the dramatic movement. A presentiment of the happiness of grief overcome seems to be given in the second, slow movement with its ardent main' melody !which is soon painted in in variations! An allegro, that ■follows as the third movement, has in common with the scherzo (usually found at this place in Beethoven’s works) only die quick movement and the three-part form. It is filled with an uncanny, ghost-like atmosphere. Fate •again displays its dangerous might. The four notes of the original motto-theme, the "fate motif”, rhythmically and melodically changed, re-appear in their warning power. In a bridge-passage of enormous suspense •comes the relieving outbreak of the Finale that like a storm sweeps away ,all preceding grief with its• triumphant proclamation of victory.
