Beethoven & Mozart
Storyboard Text
- 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.
