Es Muss Sein. -Beethoven, then Minas Kundera as a gorgeous introduction that carries across as a theme to his well-known book, "The Eternal Lightness of Being." It Must Be, showing (imo) that the heavy, tremendous power of Beethoven and his String Quartet No16 could shake a concert hall with gravitas and the bellows of its significance... meanwhile.. calling out that this storm is all but a performance; the compositional pioneer is just an artist moreover a human, and it simply must be, immaterial and insignificant.. so why not make it loud. Wrote my term paper about it, took me way too long to find that book. Im a cheesy dude.
