Compositions that were written at particular biographical points: Mendelssohn processed the death of his sister. Weinberg sought a "beautiful sound" in his tonal language after expulsion and Soviet coercion. Beethoven achieved "the dance of the world itself" (Richard Wagner) in the rare key of C-sharp minor about a year before his death.
