Give me a mere 60 beans in a day and I shall be
content! Else how may I arrive at the Holy Grail of the consummate coffee brew?
There is a thin line between the definitions of genius and madness; and sometimes the creativity of the Divinely-inspired has crossed over that dividing threshold to arrive at the supreme insights expressed through art, music and science. Stark raving lunatic or born of Divine origins the maestro himself defined his very life and own creations over nothing less than the very highest quality brew of coffee! How else could the human genius be inspired? The hallmark of humanity is tinged with the colors of emotions. Take that away and you can throw away more than half the achievements of the Industrial Revolution to the Modern age. A cup and nothing but the cup! A roasted brew decidedly inspired much of the genius of the arts and the sciences. Inspiration needs to come from somewhere. Some may see a silver lining in a cloud; others may sit beneath laden trees waiting for a summer fruit to fall. That flash of insight and understanding can only come through acute concentration and alertness of senses. Thus the cry for a decent cup of coffee to instill and infuse the mind to higher planes of intellectualism. Indeed the maestro himself was acutely aware of this need for a fuel to drive the engine of his unscathed thoughts across the universe. Ludwig van Beethoven loved his concocted brews. He was a driven man to the point of near insanity some may say. Yet in his constant desire for perfection and the search of ever new heights of emotion he dared to tread where no creator would tread; to scale the mind in the exploration of the musical chord that resonates closest to the human soul.
A cup, a mug, a brew and contentment. It's time to listen to the amazing range of sound in the creations of Ludwig. The colors in the video below represent the different scale of notes. Indeed, Ludwig could exclaim - We have lived no ordinary life; and altogether we have drunk no ordinary brew of coffee bean!
