Act I: 'Mir ist so wunderbar' (A wonder clear & pure) quartet from Beethoven's only Opera 'Fidelio,' aka 'Leonore, oder Der Triumph der ehelichen Liebe' (Leonore, or The Triumph of Marital Love), completed between 1803 & 1814.

The whole Opera is great & runs about 2.5 hours. As most people don't have the time, inclination or attention for a 2.5 hour opera, I have selected my favorite singing part that only lasts 4 minutes 45 seconds for your enjoyment. If you get the chance, listen to the full opera.

Show me the Asian, African or Afroasiatic equivalent to #Beethoven or #Mozart. No such non-Indo-European equivalent exists.
Then of course there's Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Alexander, Gustavus Adolphus, Michelangelo, De Vinci, Newton, Monet, van Gogh, James Watt, Adam Smith, Nikolaus Otto, von Braun, Babbage, Jack Kilby, Chaucer, Dante & Tolstoy to name a few.
Philosophy, statecraft, military strategy, engineering, science, mathematics, music, art, literature. All that's needed is cultural #confidence; people-group self-belief.

Some reflections on hiking and music on the favourite blog of mine: The Melody of the Mountain
And the two pieces he mentions: Beethoven (or, if you prefer the Gould approach) and Bach.
