Silence in the forest

To be honest with you, I think silence might be even more important than music – to get new ideas, or inspiration for composing music.

You see, in the nature. surrounded by trees, I feel alive. I also feel very creative, when I walk in the forest. The trees, and the animals in the forest, are not pretending anything – they are just being alive. It makes me happy. 

I am not surprised Beethoven found his musical inspiration in the nature.
