I agree. Very interesting and a theory that can be shared.

... but, for those who do not know English, what is the theory?

. . .
In short, it says that when Beethoven composed this Sonata, he was living through one of the best periods of his life; however, there is a contrast between two forces: one, implacable, that of fate, and the other, that of the human soul... as if Beethoven had a premonition about his future life.
Tonight I came across an interesting article (always in English) about Beethoven:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/why-beethoven-tugs-at-the-heart-strings-the-rhythms-of-the-german-composers-music-may-have-been-prompted-by-a-coronary-disorder-9956048.html
In short, it says that Beethoven's music may truly come from the heart... in the sense that he likely suffered from cardiac arrhythmias and that these, somehow (perhaps also amplified by his deafness), may have influenced his music.

Thanks Ismaele, I wouldn't have known how to summarize it so effectively. Well done!

Van Beethoven, "the rhythms present in the works inspired by heartbeats"
