"Ludwig Van Beethoven's Return to Vienna"
Rita Dove

Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn,
or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me.... The Heiligenstadt Testament

Wow what a rare topic for a poem. Having been extremely impressed by the determination in the Heiligenstadt Testament and played his Prometheus variations, it's really a wonder why Beethoven isn't the "hero" of more poems...

Wow. I loved this. I could see the imagery so clearly!
