  • A True Conversation : Beethoven Piano Concerto 4

    Imagine you’re holding a big glass mug of beer with a

    handle.
    If you have a real one nearby, even better.
    Now imagine you’re surrounded by friends, family,
    teammates.
    You’ve just pulled off something difficult—something
    you weren’t sure would work.
    You swing that mug back and forth in celebration.
    That feeling—EARNED joy FOUGHT FOR
    VICTORY STRUGGLE and REDEMPTION—that’s
    Beethoven
