Jan Swafford Quotes

In The Eroica And Other Pieces Of His Middle Years, Beethoven Hailed The Enlightened Leader, The Benevolent Despot, The Military Spirit. Now For Him The Military Spirit Is Nothing But Destruction. By The End Of This Section The Bugles Are Raging, The Drums Roaring, The Choir Crying Dona Pacem! In Terror. Now We Understand What Beethoven Meant By "prayer For Inner And Outer Peace." The Inner Peace Is That Of The Spirit. The Outer Peace Is In The World. The Fear And Trembling In The Missa Solemnis Is Not The Fear Of Losing Salvation In Eternity; It Is The Human, Secular Fear Of Violence And Chaos.
