Ludwig van Beethoven - When my hero in court appears

Copied!

When my Hero in court appears
And stands arraign'd for his life;
Then think of poor Polly's tears;
For ah! Poor Polly's his wife
Like the sailor he holds up his hand
Distrest on the dashing wave
To die a dry death at land
Is a bad a wat'ry grave:
And alas, poor Polly!
Alack and a-well a day!
Before I was in love
Oh, ev'ry month was May

Biography

edit bio

Considered perhaps the greatest composer in Western history, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a key figure in the transition from the restraint and craftsmanship of the Classical period to the emotion and freedom of form of the Romantic period. Despite deafness encroaching on him as early as 1798, he continued to compose and perform music as a pianist and conductor. In the genres of symphonies, piano sonatas, and string quartets, his influence is incalculable, but he is also known for his concertos for violin and piano and his opera Fidelio.
