A piece like Beethoven's Fifth basically witnessing how it was possible for him to go from sorrow and anger, over the course of a half an hour, step by exacting step of his route, to the moment when he could make it across to joy.
Piąta Symfonia Beethovena pokazuje, jak według niego można przejść od smutku i gniewu, przez pół godziny, krok po kroku do chwili, gdy zaznaje radości.
