It is written about Ludvig van Beethoven:

"The life of a great artist, as soon as the creative urge inspires him to deeds, should and will unfold almost inconspicuously in its processes and states, since his actual biography emerges in his creations and only secondarily in the circumstances of his life. Spiritual deeds only take place in the simplicity and stillness of external existence, not in colourful change and movement. This applies to the highest degree to the tone poet, for whom not only creation is an inner process, but also the object of creation. ... In the symphony Beethoven finds the framework for the grandest and most sublime images of nature and world history; he lets them pass by his soul and fills them from his imagination with tonal images that correspond to the powerful material. From the Sinfonia eroica (heroic symphony) onwards, the guiding idea is clearly and faithfully imprinted on all instrumental works, and the listener, if the tonal language is not an inextricable riddle to him at all, will and must easily recognise it from all of them. With the absolute control he gained over his entire expressive material, however, his desire to solve unusual tasks also increased; the more the outer world alienated him and himself from it, the more he endeavoured to musically transform every event in it that still rested on one of his inner strings and to translate it into the language of his tonal world. He now formed and created his own and peculiar world, the wonders of which the third and last period describes very eloquently and in detail, but which is still granted to a small circle of his admirers and admirers to enjoy and understand, he seems to have rushed ahead in it, like a prophet, his and the next following time and only after efforts and other preparations will the general public also learn to understand and admire it in amazement."
