Features: Plant one hundred old oak trees in the plains to form his name, or erect a giant statue of him, like the St. Paul amans statue on Lake Maggiore, so that he can overlook the mountains as he did in life; when ships pass by the Rhine River, if foreigners ask about the name of this giant, every child can answer: That is Beethoven. — Robert Schumann, one of the greatest composers of the German nation. As one of the representatives of the Viennese Classical School, the power of his inner emotional conflicts is rare in history, and the strength to master these conflicts with great willpower and artistic expression is also rare in history. His creative achievements have greatly deepened the ideological and expressive aspects of musical art, and have had a profound and far-reaching impact on the development of music in later generations. Beethoven leads us to the final of classicism: His music inspires our worship of power, our worship of will, he elevates classical music to a noble realm, and the heroic style he created becomes an artistic peak that later generations worship.
