{currently mad for} Comissioning a shymphony in C

Hice una pequeña (no muy seria) investigación:


Comissioning a shymphony in C(Cake)

So you'll be an Austrian Nobleman Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions You'll be Commissioning a
symphony in C

With money you squeeze from the peasants To your nephew, you can
give it as a present This magnificent symphony in C You'll be
commissioning a symphony in C

Completely filling the palace concert hall It's warm and golden like
an oven that's wide open It has a melody both happy and sad Built on
victorious young triads

You've entered the room with great caution Though no one in the hall
is even watching They are transfixed They are forgetting just to
breath They are so taken by your symphony... In C

You're sitting there thinking your thoughts They are not about what
is but what is not You are sitting there breathing in your breath
You are seldom breathing life but mostly death

So you'll be an Austrian Nobleman Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions You'll be commissioning... A
symphony... In C

Ferdinand von Waldstein

An Austrian nobleman, Count Waldstein was another influential patron
of the arts. He advanced Beethoven's education beyond music,
inviting him to performances of Shakespeare's plays. It was through
him that Beethoven acquired a good knowledge of the works of Goethe,
Kant, Schiller. It was also the Count who, while supporting
Beethoven's return to Vienna with monetary grants, was instrumental
in Beethoven's ascent to the upper rungs of Viennese society.
Beethoven would later dedicate his Piano Sonata in C major, Op. 53
to Count Waldstein.
