A vivid meditation on Beethoven’s life and work, arguing that genius is shaped through method and memory rather than sudden inspiration. It parodies bureaucratic questions about employment status while tracing how memo books, sketches, and iterative refinement reveal a creator’s process and the myth of seamless inspiration.
