Beethoven & Mozart

You look tired, Wolfgang. Are you feeling well?
Ludwig, I have not ... Perhaps, it's old age.
Nonsense. You are only 14 years older than I.
Do you ever feel tired of it all?
What do you mean?
I mean here we are. Both of us were paraded by our fathers as young children - starting around six years old - playing for the aristocracy.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed entertaining the courts and the responses I received as a child. Things have changed. I no longer enjoy entertaining.
I loathed playing for the arrogant fools of the courts as a child. Aristocrats are no different than you and I. They act like they're our puppet masters -- telling us what to do and how to do it.
I've written symphonies, operas, and chamber music under their direction and for their entertainment. I no longer want to be a puppet!
I don't know how you have accomplished all of that, Wolfgang. Just writing one symphony seems like a monumental task for me ... probably taking me years to compose.
Ludwig, you underestimate yourself. As I've told my wife, "Keep your eyes on him, someday he will give the world something to talk about.".
The world? They find your dissonant notes and attempts to change music distasteful.
Perhaps you are right.
I want to change music also. I desire to add feelings to my music but how can these unfeeling aristocrats feel anything? I do not think the world is ready for us.
