About Beethoven
Beethoven seems to address his own destiny and place in the universe with a biblical directness that evokes Job. While he probably could have survived by other means, he received financial support from a number of interested nobleman, but without sacrificing his independence. He was truly a child of the revolutionary spirit that was spreading through Europe, and the first important composer to openly declare himself an artist serving a higher calling than the court or aristocracy.

Luigi Cherubini
15, 1842) was an Italian composer. Although his music is not well known today, Cherubini was greatly admired by his contemporaries. Beethoven considered him to be the greatest dramatic composer of his time. Cherubini was born in Florence. His instruction in music began at the age of six with his father, himself a musician. By the age of thirteen, he had composed several religious works. From 1778 to 1780, he studied music in Bologna and Milan. In 1788, Cherubini settled in Paris. In the years following, he met with only partial success as an opera composer. His first major success was Lodoïska (1791) which was admired for its realistic heroism. This was followed by Médée (1797), which is Cherubini's best known work, and Les deux journées (1800). However, his works had

events compounded with Mahler's general superstition and fear of death, he was convinced that he would soon die. In an attempt to cheer Mahler up, a friend gave him a copy of Der chinesische Flöte (The Chinese Flute), an edition of ancient Chinese poetry translated into German by Hans Bethge. Mahler was very taken by the verses and chose seven (two of which are combined into one movement of music) to adapt into a song-symphony. But there arose another problem. Mahler had already finished his 8th Symphony, and with all the other things that had happened, he was even more frightened by the "Curse of the Ninth," the fact that Bruckner and Schubert and Beethoven had not gotten past nine symphonies. Convinced that a Ninth Symphony would kill him, Mahler proceeded
