Symphony X - On The Breath Of Poseidon (Segue)

“The days of December 8 and 12 are now among the most memorable in the history of Austrian art. Both times, the most celebrated artists of Vienna joined forces in order to perform in the university hall two latest works by Mr. von Beethoven under his personal guidance. It was a great symphony and an unusually polyphonic instrumental composition, Wellington's Victory, or Battle of Vittoria. The symphonies of Mr. von Beethoven, the greatest instrumental composer of our time, have long been recognized as classical. This, the newest one, causes considerable admiration for its ingenious creator than the previous ones, and, perhaps, it even has advantages over them, because, without falling into the excessive pretentiousness of the warehouse, it is so clear in all its parts, it is so loved by all its themes, it fits so easily in the mindthat every music lover, without being an expert at the same time, turns out to be powerfully captivated by its beauties and is filled with enthusiasm.
