who taught us about beethoven. i learned that beethoven became deaf after the age of thirty. you know. it is here you know not just was a great shock to him and he searched for a way to recover. the. sound of the teacher played the fifth symphony and spoke about fate. that there is a theme in the symphony of fates knocking at the door. it was the idea is that only by overcoming a harsh fate can one find true happiness. that he. doesn't even know what this is what i thought when i heard that story great comes knocking on everyone's door. that now if it worked out with that what matters is how we respond to it. as i came into middle school and high school i joined the band and i love music very much. i love to sing i love i started playing trumpet. i really really wanted to play french horn but i don't have fingers on my left hand so i was out and you play with your left hand so i was very sad but i went to trumpet and then i did marching band so for someone with one leg that was very difficult. you need physical strength to play the trumpet the. same way. he did i was it hard

you take, i don't know, harmencorps, with instruments from beethoven's time. automatically the sound changes. they're playing with wooden sticks instead of felt. the strings are playing on gut strings-- cat gut-- not steel like we play today. that changes things. all the great performances of this music or any music what, characterizes it is that it is different from anybody else's. same thing if you hear a singer. if you hear rene fleming nobody else will sound like that. if you hear yo-yo ma, nobody plays the cello like that. the great performers for me exhibit absolute individual artistic content in their presentation that is recognizable. >> rose: the book is call thed "conducting business: unveiling the mystery behind the maestro." leonard slatted kin, thank you. >> thank you. >> rose: michael is sailor is here. in a single day in march of 2000 his net worth dropped by $6 billion due to an s.e.c. case brought against his company, microstrategy. but man and company survived and thrived once again. microstrategy helps other companies analyze data and make d

( hard-rock music playing ) he's tied up right now. wait outside. you can wait out here. do you really still want to wait? of course we're going to wait. all right, we'll wait. hey, did you see that studio in there? all that equipment. ( rock music playing ) ( sighs ) what time is it? ten minutes later than the last time you asked me. how much longer do you want to wait? let me go find out what's happening. he doesn't know how much longer. oh, let's go! no way, wait, man. this is going to be worth it. i've got some bad news. the band had to leave. what do you mean, had to leave? sorry, the b

the time because life goes through, and if you do, for example, four times the beginning of the beethoventh symphony, this chord, even if you do one time after the other will change slightly, because everybody will be different, even if everybody will try to follow with the intensity your intentions, your intentions will be different, the result will be different, only on a cd it is the same. >> rose: and that's why it is exciting. >> it is unpredictable. >> rose: unpredictable, exactly. >> because i remember when i was a student, my teacher that was the assistant of toscini when i was going to conduct, going to the platform, he always said to me, you are very well prepared, but remember, we are under the sky. anything can happen. >> rose: tell me why carmina burana to open carnegie hall. >> we had played carmina burana in chicago, and we were asked to play this piece for the opening of, the coming season at carnegie hall. >> were you happy about that request? >> i love this piece. i respect this piece and i have great respect for karl orff that i met personally in 1980 when i conducted t

nicknamed the "city of music," mozart, beethoven, strauss, and many others composed and performed here. so it's no surprise that when it comes to ringing in the new year, vienna does it with music. lots of music. in fact, new year's eve here is a giant, traveling party called silvesterpfad. that means "the new year's trail." instead of being jammed into a single location like new york's times square, in vienna, the celebration takes place all over town, and it starts early. [ merengue music plays ] if you like the latin beat, there's music from the dominican republic called merengue. the name comes from meringue, a dessert made from whipped egg whites. apparently, people thought the dancers looked like human egg beaters. beats me. [ indistinct conversations ] >> these people are learning to do the waltz -- vienna's gift to the world.

this is a young beethoven played by michael stroud.is 7 of laurel and tells us that beethoven's 9th is his favorite symphony. this is nada pai. you have to look closely. this is an optical illusion. it's called trapped in a box. and this gross oven was created by taryn, 11 of fairfax. she has brains in the pot. totally gross. and vanessa turner is 7 and her mom worked on this halloween costume of an owl with feathers. it's beautiful. >> so beautiful. so much better than what i'm doing. shoving my son into a stuffed little outfit i didn't make. >> well, if you want to be inspired, sunday's kids post and at kids post.com we have all the information you need to make any of those costumes and more, even more in the paper. >> what are you going as? >> um -- i think i need to -- >> a newspaper writer. >> -- get some inspiration from our readers. >> thank you. for fun family activities visit nbc washington.com. or washington post.com and click on kids post. that is kids post on tv this week. super sized. i'm melissa mele. >> might be a lot of

good of the beethoven romney is there's opposed to figure out it's useful to make a decision about the president a country you're not you're not supposed to make is wrong with the better of the countries if this was the one you care about it all but if this is the finals of the of like of america's top two debaters then yeah this rig perfect perfect but no one i i actually don't pop the bait it's about who's actually going to do you do you watch post election coverage i was posed to you were you were playing close to your playing tetris after the debate so how can you accurately you are now most of the way you know it is your words because there was analysis of policy issues afterwards especially on m.s.n. we see where there are large lot of talk that with how obama performs they were trying to make up for hate with all of the policy issues that they wished that he had brought has been a little know it was you must have practiced playing that video no because it was all stuff like that and you know what the video was for t.v. to make your point so this is all focused on things that are

steve jobs was viewed as bono, bond and beethoven.ou don't want to spend anytime with the microsoft guys and i know steve. i sat next to him at a reunion. but when you read walter isaacson's biography of jobs. he was a man, and everyone wanted to hang with him because he was the coolest man in the room. meanwhile, google is the logical heir to apple. google has all the monetizing momentum you could have on your cell phone and that is why the stock is going higher. the default go to tech name is google. it is the financial equivalent of a judgment over who is cool. google is and microsoft isn't. the gulf is growing, which is why google up here is the one to own. stay with cramer. >> reports after the bell. i tell you i do not comment or recommend stocks on a takeover basis. it is going to send sprint further down. jim, are you abandoning sprint?

you know, obama, you've got beethoven, right?t's sort of profound and soaring in terms of the rhetoric, but it's not improvsational, it's is not quick the way clinton is. >> it's also, i think, the use of wit and sarcasm, delivered with a smile. churchill said, i like a man who grins when he fights. bill clinton grins when he fights. >> yes, he does. and he's obviously really enjoying himself. >> i know, it's great. it's great fun. >> but he's also being tactically really smart. because he can go there in a way, you know, with all that motion and all those gestures in a way that is difficult for president obama to do, either because he's president or because that's not his kind of music. so bill clinton knows exactly what he's doing and he is, i think, being very effective. >> last thought, ten seconds, cynthia. will joe biden have some music as well as lyrics tomorrow night? >> i think he will. i mean, i think, let's hope he doesn't get two improvsational, but i think joe biden likes politics too and enjoys the music and enjoys
