anarchistettin:nicky-cass:absolutely-walnuts:holy shit“Ludwig van Beethoven was of African descent, and the truth of his ethnic origins was covered up through a mixture of white powder worn on his face when out in public, the use of body doubles for portraits, and “euro-centric” historians, hiding the truth of his genetic heritage.“ - srcI’m mad that we aren’t taught thisThere’s more:we don’t often get to hear Beeth’s work in the way he meant for us to, because generations of music-thugs have assumed “he didn’t mean for it to be that fast”. I’ve heard it played correctly and yes: he meant it to be that fast. It changes the most familiar works in a fundamental way, and it is far more confrontational than is typically considered polite in big rooms full of white folk.Beeth has always been in my top 3 - the rage ^_^ -- source link
