OTD in Music History: Immortal composer and virtuoso pianist Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) is born in Bonn, Germany... probably. Although there is no *definitive* record of the exact date of Beethoven's birth, the baptismal registry in the Catholic Parish of St. Remigius is dated to December 17th -- and the regional custom at that time was to carry out baptisms within 24 hours of births. Beethoven himself always claimed December 16th as his birthday. PICTURED: The handwritten address panel of an autograph note that Beethoven wrote and sent to a local elected official in ~1816/1817, regarding matters relating to settling the estate of his late brother, Kaspar van Beethoven (1774 – 1815), on behalf of his adopted nephew, Karl (1806 – 1858). The fierce five-year-long custody battle that raged from 1815 - 1820 between Beethoven and his hated sister-in-law, Johanna (1786 – 1869), is the stuff of legend. At great personal and financial expense and after many failed attempts, Beethoven ultimately succeeded in wresting custody of Karl away from Johanna, whom he considered to be an unfit mother and an “immoral woman." Unfortunately, Beethoven proceeded to drive his nephew crazy with his own highly eccentric “parenting” style, ultimately leading to Karl’s infamous failed suicide attempt in July 1826. When the police questioned Karl after he was discovered laying on the ground with a bullet wound in his head and a pistol clutched in his hand, the explanation that he offered was chilling: "My uncle has tormented me too much." Emotionally shattered by this tragic episode, the previously overbearing Beethoven immediately relented and finally allowed Karl to pursue the military career that he had long sought. The day after Karl left for his assignment, Beethoven drew up his own last will and testament. He bequeathed his entire estate to Karl, who would inherit it when Beethoven passed away just three months later.

Random question. If you could spend time with any person in history, who would you choose and what do you want to talk about with them?

I was already thinking "Beethoven!" before I got to the end of the first clause. Yes, I'd like to sit down with Beethoven and talk about his opera, Fidelio, which is one of my absolute favorites and the piece I wrote about for my MA (not well; I could do much better now). I want to know how he learned of the story, how he fell in love with it and why, why he made the musical choices he did, what he would have done differently if he'd given it a third re-write. I want to know where his unwavering belief in True Love comes from and how he would feel knowing that the opera has transcended its time to not just be an allegory for the French Revolution, but a piece that could just as easily be set at the fall of the DDR (as it was in Dresden in 1988/89) or the Arab Spring or the Black Lives Matter movement or the George Floyd marches and in so many other historical moments where a single person stands up and says, "No, I will not allow this; this cannot continue; I will stop it" and then does.

(Opera directors, I'm begging you: stop this regietheater bullshit and give us the unironic, hope-squaring-up-for-another-round, blood-and-guts, touch-my-husband-again-and-I-will-shoot-you-in-the-face Fidelio we deserve.)

Also I'd love to go to one of his early improv-duels, and to the world premiere of the Ninth Symphony. I'd be sobbing on the floor at the latter, but there we are.

チューリヒへの旅より

チューリヒへの旅より：5月8日からごく短期間チューリヒを訪れた際に接したトーンハレ管弦楽団の演奏会、《フィデリオ》の公演、リートベルク美術館での展覧会や映画の上映などについて記しています。

前アルプスを望むチューリヒ湖の風景 広島では初夏のような蒸し暑い日が続いています。みなさまお元気でお過ごしでしょうか。去る5月8日から11日にかけて、ごく短期間ではありますが、スイスのチューリヒへ出かけました。クリストフ・フォン・ドホナーニが指揮するチューリヒのトーンハレ管弦楽団の演奏会を聴くのが主たる目的でしたが、それ以外にもオペラを観たり、美術館を訪れたり、旧知の友人と、前アルプスを望むチューリヒ湖畔でゆっくり語らったりすることができました。音楽に身を浸す喜びだけでなく、今後の研究へ向けた刺激も得ることもできました。この時季の緑はとても鮮やかで、眩いばかり。チューリヒ湖畔から前アルプスを望むと、冠雪の残る山並みと多彩な緑のコントラストも楽しめました。 5月9日と10日の2日間、トーンハレでこの響きの豊かな「楽堂」の名を冠したオーケストラの演奏会を聴きました。曲目は、ルドルフ・ブッフビ…

i cant believe fidelio isn’t a more popular fandom plot!

yeah it's sooooo good!!!! I wish ppl knew her 😢 imo it's not popular bc obv opera is pretty inaccessible for the younger crowd and also it's rly rarely performed because it's so technically difficult for the singers

#i think mar explained it to me once as beethoven is an excellent composer but unfortunately he wrote the vocal parts like they were violins #and he asks the singers to do things the human voice cannot do #ace txt #anyway everyone go listen to fidelio #even BETTER watch Leonard Bernstein's PBS special from opera for young audiences that he did on fidelio #he conducts some of the best bits AND explains the opera AND gives a great primer on how to listen to opera and feel it #idk i got interested in opera by virtue of *working* opera and i have NO music background #so hearing bernstein (beloved) talk about it was a game changer for me #answers #anon

On November 20, 1805, the premiere of the first version, Ludwig van Beethoven's only opera "Fidelio", took place in the Theater an der Wien - Das Opernhaus. This work could also be heard in America. Here is the original evening note from one of the first performances at The Metropolitan Opera in New York on December 31, 1887.

Hi zu, do you have any tips for when you get so frustrated with a project because nothing you try works and get so frustrated you feel like ripping everything apart? I'd need tips for that if you have any to give..

Hii Alice!╰(*´︶`*)╯

I can feel you, and the reason it's frustrating is because you put a lot into it and have high hopes for it (úwù) This is in our nature — we love our creations like our own children, and we do our best for them to become the best ☆

This is what Beethoven once said about his opera Fidelio: “Of all my offspring, this composition caused me the greatest birth pains and later the greatest grief, and therefore I value it more dearly than any of the others.”

However, you can try to let them grow on their own — without much effort and great expectations, without knowing what they'll become. Just having fun while creating, here and now — and this will always worth it all ♡

13 and 23 for the fanfic end of the year asks?

13. favorite writing song/artist/album of this year

I have songs that inspire me to think about the fic in question and the characters, but I usually need minimalism while actually writing. For inspiration: the Prisoner’s Chorus from Beethoven's Fidelio, the first movement of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in D minor, Peter Gabriel’s cover of The Power of the Heart, Leonard Cohen’s Recitation/A Thousand Kisses Deep, Regina Spektor’s The Call. For actually writing, long playlists/best of's of Arvo Pärt, Max Richter, and Ludovico Einaudi, and this random album of FNAF game music remixes

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t

putting this under a cut because there are SO DAMN MANY GOOD GOD...........

the biggest would be finishing the Kryptonian superbat au, which would be (mild spoilers?) sort of a sequel to isostatic. It was my NaNo project in 2022 but I had to stop about 25k in for Reasons. I think once it’s done it’ll land in the 40k ish range? There Will Be Footnotes.

of course finishing we shall be free; we shall find peace, but tbh I was pretty damn sure I was never going to finish that in a year. I made about 45k of progress on it during NaNo this year, but, horrifyingly, that only got me about...halfway…through the plot outline. this mfer is a SLOW slow burn

I really wanted to participate more in bottom bruce wayne october with various superbat ideas and ended up with 4 drafts, one of which was done enough to end off to januariat to be beta read, but I just couldn’t figure out how a few paragraphs in that would flow, which is usually a symptom of being unsatisfied with a deeper issue. So the catboy pwp, the chastity belt dkos-ish au, the sex pollen, and the [redacted fic that shall remain undescribed bc I will never have the nerve to publish it except on anon] all remain in tragic stages of unfinishedment

speaking of various pwps, I really wanted to make progress on an immediate post-wf289 fic where the ashes of the Kryll give superbat low-level temporary telepathic empathy and of course they've been pining for each other for years and do it very tenderly and probably weep manly tears, because that's the bronze age worlds finest vibe <3

The claspers whumpfic where clark gets shrapneled and bruce has to do emergency surgery and oh no discovers his claspers remains one scene. I need to look up best practices in octopus physical therapy for this though if it gives you some idea of the intended plot. This would be a prequel/backstory to make this place your home and a home for my xeno clark headcanons in general

I really want to do an omegaverse fic that’s the opposite of the 'oh no, I’ve just gone into heat and I have no plans, you’ll just have to sleep with me' trope. like, bruce's contingency plans have fallen through yeah, but with two weeks advance notice and he's asking clark for a gentleman's favor and there's traditional style courting with cheese plates and possibly slow dancing. also maybe to incorporate xenomegaverse Delta clark and also how much more dangerous Poison Ivy would be in an omegaverse setting

I still have aspirations for a sequel to tacere featuring Kara acclimating to life on earth, but that’s on the back burner until I read more of her comics bc i know that plot's been done over and over and i want to be sure i know what the canon takes are

i fervently want a comfort (xen)omegaverse cloisbat set during the recovery in superman: lost

dragonclark aka the one where kryptonians all avoid magic bc they don't want the spells that shapeshift them into humanoid forms to be broken and they're actually (slightly fifth dimensional) dragons but otherwise tech based. don't worry about it. martha and jonathan found a baby six-limbed dragonlet in that rocket that blinked at them and then shapeshifted and they were like ok we are still gonna adopt

was contemplating a fic set in clark's sophomore year of college where xenoclark/mermaidlori get together but i can't decide whether i want it to be straightforward pwp hooking up or actual melancholy young love plotfic where they both have this impending separation hanging above their heads. i was vaguely thinking of having lori's mermaid tail be partially paralyzed but i'd have to do a hell of a lot more research into ableism related to wheelchairs and find a wheelchair using beta

old timey radio husbands ft. radio bruce getting blackmailed for having sexe pictures. need to buy a book to research the metropolitan american gay scene in the 40s. or perhaps the fic is just the excuse i need to order the book?

every time i watch any given jl episode i want to write a fic where dcauclarkie my problematic rectangular fave gets some god damn therapy. this has been the state of my brain for two years and it may in fact be time to pick up my first ever attempt at dc fic, which was post-stas pre-jls1 fic that attempted to explain why the US government would ever trust dcauclark again by lifting the plot of panic in the sky from the reeves show (ft. amnesiac clark)

speaking of reeves and watching shows every time i watch an episode of batman 66 I want to write an adamwest!bruce/georgereeves!clark because every time I watch 66bruce be a ridiculous dad to dick I’m like ohhhhhhh this man NEEDS to get [redacted] until [redacted] he DESERVES it. he is so husband material. and 50s Superman also could use [redacted redacted redacted]. Unfortunately this is not a plot, but as Jan so patiently reminds me, pwp is a thing, so...

that was so many. if you have read to the end let me know if any of these are intriguing and i shall perhaps move them forward to the front burner alongside wsbf

#thanks for the ask :^) #the thing about me is that i have. so fucking many fics in the wip drawer #my entire 'wip' folder in scrivener is. 248k words. as opposed to the 40k words i have published on ao3. its clownographic #dio-icarticaae #my writing
