Liszt composed tone poems about Orpheus, who overcomes death with music, and Prometheus, who inspires humanity with art. Orpheus's music is harmonious, while Prometheus's is dissonant, reflecting his suffering. Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto, sometimes called the "Orpheus Concerto," may be inspired by Orpheus. Leó Weiner, a Liszt admirer, orchestrated Liszt's B minor Sonata for the Liszt centenary in 1956.

Beethoven believed in music's power to transform individuals and society. His symphonies, including the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh, convey this through themes of life, liberation, nature, religion, time, and rhythm. He felt his Seventh Symphony needed no explanation, although the true meaning remains a mystery. Brahms, similarly, uses irony and understatement to describe his Second Piano Concerto, acknowledging the difficulty of capturing music's essence in words.

Mr. van Beethoven is moving again! His apartment is too small for his many notes, or the neighbors complain about loud music. It's always something! He has packed his belongings and music, but now he can't find anything. He unpacks everything, creating chaos. Suddenly, there's a knock from inside a box. Where is Mr. Nötzel with his clarinet? A discovery journey in Beethoven's music jungle.
