"Forgetting Beethoven" by Arshag Dickranian explores the themes of memory, identity, and the power of music. The story follows the intertwined lives of two characters—a renowned composer facing the onset of dementia and a young aspiring musician struggling to find his place in the world. As the composer grapples with his fading recollections of Beethoven’s work, he becomes a mentor to the young musician, who helps him reconnect with his passion for music. Through their journey, they both confront their fears, rediscover forgotten melodies, and ultimately find solace in the enduring legacy of art and human connection.
