Anatomist Franz Joseph Gall piggybacked off the idea of physiognomy and came up with phrenology which is the science of the mind.

This week we listened to the fifth symphony by Beethoven. I enjoy the symphonies‚ but‚ I enjoy the piano concerto better. Each of them have there own traits‚ like the meaning of the fifth symphony. The “banging” is said to be fate knocking at Beethoven’s door. It makes me wonder if as Beethoven was writing this‚ if he was contemplating giving up.
