lyrics

Michail Travlos about his piano piece „In memoriam Beethoven“:

„The three miniatures is my individual „flashback“ to Beethoven’s life. The thorns of life hurt him deeply, as he wrote, progressive illness led him almost to suicide. Of the seven grown-up children outside of Ludwig, only two brothers survived, the oldest surviving only a few days. Parents‘ quarrels, even violence against the family, fatherly drunkenness and bad material conditions were on the agenda. In the last years of Beethoven life is particularly saturated with polyphonic music. „
