    I was 21 in 1977, and I lost my way. In the day room of the clinic was an old record player with headphones. I despondently picked this record from the stack and put it on. Somehow this music put me back on the pwhiath to sanity. Whenever I feel depressed or the whole world seems to be turning into a bleak hopeless place...I listen to this. The whole way through. It never fails to help me get back in touch with the good in the world, the beauty of Nature. I'm certain many feel thus way.

      Yes! (sorry, I misspelled "pathway" above) i.e. back on the pathway to sanity. One can so easily feel "The Awakening of Peaceful Feelings in
      the Countryside," and I'm certain Beethoven struggled with feelings of hopelessness and depression, as many high-functioning individuals do.

His father was brutal, and the loss of her mother deeply struck ( his career as musician already started if i remember correctly). And he was also partially deaf, then nearly completely deaf at the end of his life. That's just a big sum up of his life. The fact he faced depression is historical knowledge about him.

    Most know classical composer Ludwig van Beethoven struggled with deafness - but many don’t realise how much of a struggle it was. Beyond composing without hearing a note, Beethoven grappled with living in the 1800s when few understood deafness, hindering his ability to communicate, work as a musician and even find a place to live. How he dealt with this deafness is one of the great stories of humanity, not just of music. He started going deaf in his mid-20s and profoundly deaf by 45.
    A common question is how Beethoven continued composing without his hearing, but this wasn’t too difficult. Music is a language, with rules. Knowing the rules of how music is made, he could sit at his desk and compose a piece of music without hearing it.
    What a tragedy for such a genius.

I decided to give it a listen. To say that I was blown away would be a massive understatement. Nowadays, I still listen to rock, but I also listen to Beethoven.

Nothing at all wrong or inconsistent, with listening to our favorite rock tunes, and then turning to Beethoven; or any other favorite classical composer. Beethoven's 6th Pastoral symphony should be required listening for all human beings, regardless of background or upbringing. God bless you.

    I grew up in the 50s-70s. My mother played pretty much nothing but classical music from the time I was born (and before, actually). This was her favorite symphony, and she literally wore out several albums playing it. I did not realize that it was one of her ways to combat depression & frustration until I was in my late teens. It was a beautiful gift that she gave me, and I listen to it frequently, oddly enough, also when I am feeling down. It never fails to lift me up and get me going again. Thank you for making this available to a wider audience. It is an invaluable device and experience, and to any who are hearing this for the first time, congratulations. This is one of the premier symphonic experiences that you can have.

    Growing up first generation Canadian in a german household it was standard to have heard Beethoven more than once. I disliked it as I was young and I wanted rock and roll. Then as I grew I realized my parents were right Beethoven was a genius. This Symphony was their all time favorite. They had seen it performed live and had numerous copies. They are both gone now but it too has become my favorite. I dont have anyone to enjoy this Symphony but when I listen I always remeber the days it was played. Mom in a god awful moomoo smoking like a chimney and enjoying wine and my father laid back on his lazy boy, Tilley Hat on with a shot of rye sitting on his beer belly. Both completely content. Thanks Ludwig, even in death you bring joy and a smile

    I cannot hear the first movement of this symphony without seeing the sequence in the film Soylent Green where the Edward G. Robinson character submits himself to the voluntary de-population programme. He is administered drugs to make his death painless and wheeled into a large room where he watches images of what the world looked like before humanity and overpopulation destroyed it all. He watches various scenes of Nature as Symphony No. 6 plays and weeps at lost beauty. It is a very moving scene. Sadly this was Robinson 's very last film. It was an outstanding performance.

I had my personal stereo with am/fm radio and headphones on . I heard this piece playing over the fm station . I was astonished how it went so well with what i was seeing, feeling, what was happening on this beautiful summer day . it felt just like what i was experiencing ( i remember looking up into the trees and leaves and sky in background, it was cinematic ! ) ! I later found out it was this particular Beethoven Symphony , # 6, "the Pastorale " . well at least the first , second and fifth movements . There was no thunder storm nor did i see or hear any "peasants" dancing or bantering or singing , and thank heavens no Egmonts, whatever those are .

There is nothing like driving on a beautiful country road and listen to the first movement. Or hiking in the woods along a creek and listen to the second movement.

    Absolutely one of my favorite pieces.
    I listened to this whenever I was creating cuisines at work. It brought out the Best in me.
    This, Bach and Mozart.

      I worked with people in the restaurant industry who hated classical music and had macho tendencies so I'm glad you were able to bring some civilization to that environment.

    "Awakening of cheerful feelings on arrival in the countryside." Why does this fit so absolutely, perfectly well? It must be the television's fault, it must have used this for countless countryside montages over the past decades and irrevocably coupled lush green pastoral pastures with giant oak trees to this music in my mind. This is Beethoven's greatest work for me, personally.
