~ Classical Music

“When I open my eyes I must sigh, for what I see is contrary to my religion, and I must despise the world which does not know that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.”
– Ludwig van Beethoven, quoted by Bettina von Arnin, letter to Goethe, 1810

Ever since i can remember, I’ve been a huge fan of classical music, rarely does a genre of music touch me so deeply and evoke emotions in me as much as classical music does, especially coming from immortal greats such as Beethoven whom i personally think was beyond genius, Beethoven gave us something so monumentally beautiful it could have easily been inpired to him directly by God himself, and i thought I’d share this compilation of some of my favorite classical music and opera pieces:
