The Joy Of creation generally is
regarded a. one Of the greatest
of human joys. and who has had
this Joy more than Beethoven?
That the process of composition
often caused him much labor is
true, but IT was a labor Of love
which engaged all his highest pow

sordid cares. II Beethoven had not
had consultations and joys of a
rare quality. II would not have
been possible that in his music
vigor and happiness should pre-
vail as they do over the tragic.
