One of his biggest contributions to the study of astronomy was his three laws of planetary motion. Without delving too deeply into physics, basically these laws state that planets orbit the sun in ellipses rather than circles, and that the planets travel faster when closer to the sun and slower when farther away from the sun. It also states that planets with larger orbits move slower than those with smaller orbits. His work was grounded in the idea that God created the world according to a specific plan, and that plan could be realized through reason. In 1619 he wrote Harmonices Mundi (translated as The Harmony of the Worlds) which in certain sections investigates musical harmony in relation to planetary motion.

I would like to issue a disclaimer about these three episodes about Beethoven. There is so much that could be discussed in these three episodes but in order to keep them concise I’ve had to leave a lot of information for future episodes. Each one of his excellent symphonies could easily each serve as a discussion for multiple episodes. So, if you feel I’ve left out something important, I probably did so regretfully but please send me your comments just the same.
