Abstract

Inventive genius is due to the creative fantasy of introverts often incapable of grasping even the simplest precepts of social life. Beethoven, for example, lost all effective contact with the social and business worlds before he was thirty years old. He was totally devoid of sympathetic insight and inhabited a world of his own into which no one else could penetrate. Except for a few disastrous occasions, he indifferently left others to live their own ways in their own pragmatic, atonal worlds. To put it bluntly, Beethoven was pretty damned stupid in non-musical matters, but that was the price he paid for his genius.
