Anton Schindler, Beethoven's student and secretary, once asked Beethoven, what is the content of the sonata of the storm? Beethoven replied, "Read Shakespeare's The Tempest!"
The Tempest is the last work written by Shakespeare in his later years (16 1 1). It's called Shakespeare's will written in poetry. In The Tempest, he expressed his good wishes of loving life and advocating ideals. At the same time, when Beethoven wrote the Sonata of the Storm, it was the moment of his hearing loss and mental crisis. In his "Helgenster's Will" written a few months later, he said, "My health has been bad for six years ... but I can't tell people:' Speak up, I'm deaf' ... This feeling should be particularly superior to others in me. I don't think I can leave this world until I have completed all the missions I feel. "
The protagonist in Shakespeare's The Tempest is also struggling with the rough fate, and Beethoven's own fate echoes it, so he can create such a great Tempest Sonata.
