根据以下材料，回答题Ludwig van Beethoven is widely considered to he one of the outstanding classical music figures of the western world.This German musical genius created numerous works that are firmly entrenched in the repertoire.Except for a weakness in composing vocal and operatic music,
Beethoven had complete mastery of the art form.Many of his works are ingeniously imaginative and innovative, such as his 3rd Symphony, his 9th Violin Sonata and so on.
It is difficult to sum up briefly what his musical works represent or symbolize, since taken together they include a vast system of thought.Generally,however, those who understand his music sense that it reflects their own personal longings and sufferings.(46) It egoistically, and always intelligently, "discusses" with its listener his or her feelings in the wake of personal failure and personal triumph, from the lowest depths of despair to the highest heights of happy or triumphant fulfillment.In his music, he represents the feelings felt by those attempting to achieve their goals within their societies, whether they are competing for love, status, money, power or any other things individuals feel naturally inclined to attempt to acquire.
In a thematic sense, Beethoven does not promote anarchist ideas.(47) The listener cannot, in listening to Beethoven's music,understand ideas which, if applied, would compromise the welfare of his society.The music is thus "civically responsible," as is the music of Bach or Mozart.For Beethoven, the society exists as a bulwark (堡垒)with which the individual must function in
harmony, or at least not function such as to harm or destroy it.And, (48) should the society marginalize or hurt the individual,as it often does, the individual must, according to Beethoven,humbly accept this, never considering the alternative act of attempting to harm or destroy the society in the wake of his or her personal frustrations.But, thanks to Beethoven, such an individual is provided with the means to soothe his or her misery in the wake of feeling "hurt" at the hands of society.(49) The means is this music and the pleasure that it can provide to minds possessing the psycho-intellectual "wiring" needed to understand it.Some post-World-War- Ⅱ composers reject the music of Beethoven because of its predominant
reliance on "beauty" as way of communica tingidealized concepts.(50) Also, since the music intimately reflects the desires and thought-processes of the natural human mind, which in numerous ways is emotionally and intellectually irrational, the music may itself be consequently irrational.
