Ludwig van Beethoven


Melodic ingenuity of Ludwig van Beethoven
raised music to the realm of art, cadence woven.
A piano virtuoso, he turned into a composer unique,
initiated the romantic era in coexistent classical music.

He infused momentum in symphony,
sonorous in the ninth with harmony.
     A few love affairs he had,
     but remained bachelor

Ludwig Knew, Clerihew

Free market economist, Ludwig Von Mises
Ably pinpointed economic diseases.
Yet, when we’re told the feds fixed the great depression,
Ludwig knew it was caused by fed intervention.

Ludwig Van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven raised music to the plane of art
The power of his composition conveyed the cadence of heart
Fused vocal and instrumental melodies in Ninth Symphony unique
Struggled heroically with deafness though life turned silently bleak.

Clerihew Ernst Ludwig K

'Degenerate ' Kirchner had no place to hide
closed his life in suicide
There in Switzerland ,in exile
it seemed his art  *was unsuited to Nazi style

Clerihew Ernst Ludwig

E L Kirchner,of Franconia,(Germany) not France
said artist painted not things,but their appearance
His street ladies-thin,elongated sans guile
all so serious,none with a smile

Ludwig Leichart

Ludwig Leichart

This perplexing country,
(such an under statement),
where rivers run upside down,
marbles are strewn by the Devil
and Songlines
etched in memory are
sung by those few who know.
Seeking Victoria, 
the blazed trees could not help,
the Prussian collapsed, looking at the blue.
Initialled stunted trees showed the way,
signposts to oblivion,
while the heat,
always the heat,
in a furnace of shadeless infinity
dessicates his

Ludwig Ii

Ludwig ii 

A Bavarian King with no bone bad 
A Bavarian King introverted not mad 
A king who lived life by night 
A king who stayed out of sight

The Swan king was his given name 
from Bavarian bloodstock he came Maximilians Death took away his youth
On throne pomp splendoured and couth

Peer pressure never kneel
Twas Opera

Ludwig Boltzmann

(Almost a Shakespearean sonnet :) )


The Second Law of Thermodynamics
Explained in terms of probability
And at a time with scientists frantic,
Statistically reprocessed entropy
H-Theorem, Boltzmann T-Equations born
Statistical Mechanics founded, too.
Connections with across divisions formed
A new branch of physics because of you.
And yet they criticized you for your works-
Demoralized to the point of suicide
You gave a whole section

Ludwig Van Beethoven

On Thursday March 29, 1827

Vienna Salzburg

It wasn’t a happy day for Christoph

Ludwig Van Beethoven

Three O’clock Afternoon nine Priests blessed the coffin

September 1822

Dear Uncle a mad man has moved upstairs into Apartment

Beethoven

Dear Christoph Mr. Beethoven will settle soon

Another week has passed life is no calmer

Beethoven no clothes, rude, and weird

He’s ruined Fathers office.

But I still forgive

Ludwig and Vincent

Ludwig & Vincent...


‘They said that you were mad, Vincent’, whispered Ludwig to a silent Vincent.


‘I still am, quite insane’, replied Vincent, ‘but you, dear Ludwig, you were deaf, and mad, I hear’.


‘I listened with my soul, Vincent, I heard it all without hearing a sound. Yes, mad and deaf indeed I too, still am’, Ludwig

King Ludwig

Bavarian King Ludwig was mad.
He did something that was inherently bad.
Behind his castle, there was a great big lake.
Into that water, a one-way dip Ludwig would take.
