Chapter 32 kindness in armor

Everyone says that Bonn is beautiful, but they can't tell what places of interest it has.After a few laps, I finally realized that true beauty does not need history to help, just as true happiness does not need stories to describe. The capital of a big country for decades has almost no high-rise buildings. There are many vendors in the municipal square, and the closest to the city hall is a pickle shop. The capital is gone, and the greatest remaining glory may be Beethoven's cramped former residence.Beethoven was still very young when he played the amazing sound of the piano, but the city felt its own smallness and urged the child to go to Vienna.

Beethoven is gone.There are masters in Vienna, as well as a large group of nobles who look like audiences and critics.They became Beethoven's new surroundings, and Beethoven, who kept Bonn on himself for a long time, deliberately made them uncomfortable. There have been many articles recorded that Beethoven had a bad temper and despised all those who did not share a common language.He was short and heavy, with dark skin, disheveled hair, a sad face, a country accent, vulgar language, ill-bred manners, and poor and dirty clothes. But, according to the most authoritative and detailed recollections of Beethoven's long-time private secretary Schindler, this was not the case.Although Beethoven lived a relatively simple life, he paid attention to decency and cleanliness.Those malicious distortions that appear in the text are caused by the eyes of the nobles in Vienna.

The aristocrats in Vienna didn't have to pay so much attention to such a Bonn man who they looked down upon everywhere, but it was this man who played unparalleled music.They had long assigned a hierarchy of life to such music, but this hierarchy was shattered before Beethoven.Of course, they also hope that his music is just a soap bubble that can be popped, but they can't be pierced, so they can only be angrily sensitive to the gap between this kind of music and this kind of appearance.The more sensitive they are, the bigger the gap is, and the itching makes them feel uncomfortable all over.The only way out of the pain is to spread rumors and slanders about Beethoven.

Beethoven actually understood their eyes long ago.He also wanted to melt into them at first, but soon woke up and absolutely couldn't.The original passion of music is the original call sign of life. When this call sign becomes an elegant style, it can only be a performance rather than a creation.Beethoven only needs to take a step back, and the eyes around him will immediately soften, but he has withdrawn from the frontier of life, and he will inevitably sink himself in social communication quickly.The temptation was so strong and persistence so difficult that he had to wear the armor.His temper, appearance, tone, and clothing, which are incompatible with the nobles, are his armor for self-defense, and once he takes it off, he will be fatal immediately.

Of course, this will cause more misunderstandings. These people may not be nobles but listeners. He really doesn't want to be strict with them, but how to distinguish the boundary here?So I can only hide in the armor and worry. He is as violent as a lion, sometimes soft-spoken.I read one of his inner monologues: As wild as it is, I am kind at heart. The unruly wildness will also lose its temper, so he needs to whisper, whether it is self-comfort or self-policing.He has seen that the severity of resistance, self-defense, and self-reliance is likely to conflict with kindness, not only cover up kindness, but also devour kindness, so he reminds himself not to lose his roots.Many rebels in the world cannot achieve greatness, which is related to this.

With great music and a kind heart, Beethoven is actually complete.Other than that, nothing matters anymore.
