I remind you, that now is the perfect time to read “Spring Sonata” story :)

It’s been two years of my obsession with these two characters. To celebrate this, I drew them once again!

Beethoven - Violin Sonata no.5 in F Major, op.24 “Spring” (1801)

There is a short story by Donald Barthelme [whose short fiction is full of eccentricities] called “At the Tolstoy Museum”, where the narrator describes a fantastical museum dedicated to Tolstoy, with statues and portraits, they cause patrons to weep, his stern glare. There is an exhibit “Tolstoy’s coat” which the coat looks like it is for a giant [there are pictures in these stories], and the plaza has an ominous statue of Tolstoy’s head, levitating in a surreal plane. It’s a story I read in my “Eccentric Fiction” class in college, where we talked about how in a way the REAL story is about authors feeling intimidated by the great writers of the past. How can we write after Tolstoy? [very easily, actually]. I couldn’t help but think this story would have worked if it was instead “At the Beethoven Museum”, with portraits and artifacts and letters and old pianos, and of course countless statues and busts of that infamous scowl. How can we write music after Beethoven? That was a “crisis” that happened in the 19th century. Remember how Brahms couldn’t even bring himself to write a symphony because of how intimidating Beethoven was? The point of this anecdote was to bring to mind how much we over-Romanticize Beethoven to the point that we forget he wasn’t a Romantic composer. We look at the fire and intensity and darkness of his bold works, that we forget he was a Classisist, that he was Haydn’s student, and that he admired Mozart and Handel. We get so caught up in the violent side to Beethoven, the Byronic Hero image that’s constantly marketed, that we forget the calmer and more galant Beethoven, beyond the scowl. This sonata is a great example of “fun” Beethoven, full of charm and elegance and not trying to take itself too seriously. The sonata, dubbed “Spring” after his death, has four movements instead of three, but the added mini-scherzo is short enough to be more like an introduction to the final movement. We glide along a lovely melody in the violin over a smooth piano river. With little chromatic slides and thick piano chords, we go into the B section that’s a simple melody crawling along a chord progression. There are some rumbling moments, mild hints of anxiety, but those pass very quick. I’m guessing this movement’s cheery attitude is what had encouraged the “Spring” nickname, and I can’t help but think of childhood and running around in the grass. The slow movement is a pretty dialogue between instruments, over a simple Mozartian pattern. Again, can’t help but think of tossing blades of grass into a lake, watching the wind push the water waves around. The mini scherzo is like a march with a rushing trio in thirds, and then we go into the final movement. The melody is pretty soft, and there are little bounces and trills, it’s a rondo but it isn’t a “finale” so much. Since it’s such a warm day I had an itch to hear this work again, and put me in the mood for sunny days.
