BEETHOVEN: A Champion of Peace and Justice
Did you know? Historically, composers often relied on the patronage of nobility or rulers, as these influential figures commonly supported the arts.
Beethoven, however, lived in a time marked by the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of copyright laws, which allowed him more creative independence. This shift meant that, unlike in Haydn's era, composers could focus on personal themes without needing noble patronage. As a result, Beethoven’s work embodies his deep belief in ideals such as freedom, justice, and equality.
