Public

Meeresstille und Glückliche Fahrt Op. 112 (Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage)

Symphony No. 2 in B-flat Major, op. 52 ("Hymn of Praise")

Approved

Depois de se ter cruzado com Goethe em 1812, Beethoven quis inspirar-se na obra literária do escritor, pelo qual nutria uma profunda admiração, baseando-se nela para criar a majestosa cantata para coro e orquestra Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt. Também Mendelssohn havia de conhecer Goethe muito cedo no seu percurso – musicando igualmente alguns dos seus poemas –, tendo o escritor declarado estar perante um prodígio comparável ao de Mozart. A criação de Mendelssohn seria, de igual modo, muito permeável à sua relação com a poesia, sendo a Sinfonia n.º 2, Lobgesang, um dos mais notáveis exemplos.

After meeting Goethe in 1812, Beethoven wanted to be inspired by the literary work of the writer, for whom he had a deep admiration, based on it to create the majestic cantata for choir and orchestra Meerestille und glückliche Fahrt . Mendelssohn would also meet Goethe very early in his career – also setting some of his poems to music – and the writer declared that he was facing a prodigy comparable to that of Mozart. Mendelssohn's creation would also be very permeable to his relationship with poetry, with Symphony No. 2, Lobgesang , being one of the most notable examples.
