Almost the whole world has heard of me.
People everywhere sing or hum two
of my most known ones many times.
By reading my Heiligenstadt Testament,
You'll see what I felt, but by listening to
my music, you'll hear that I dealt with it well.
I was the first to go to many patrons at once,
whereas the others worked with one at a time.
In my time, many avoided me, but now, even
though I have passed away, many embrace me.
You've probably guessed who it is by now.

Answer:
Ludwig van Beethoven

So I don't forget...

Many people want to come to this place, although it comes at a great price.
To get here, you must first go through shepherds' fields,
Then you must go through the forests, some of which may be petrified.
The final task is to go through the stone gate.
Unfortunately, some go deep into the cave, never to return.
Where?

Answer: Heaven, or afterlife


Don't listen! Don't listen! Don't listen!
The pain is harsh, it is harsh indeed.
Don't worry, don't worry, it is only momentary.
It returns; the pain is unbearable, unbearable indeed.
Don't listen! Don't listen! Don't listen!
What am I?

Answer: Feedback (loop)


Things are not always
Sometimes one must read
as they seem. There is
between the lines to know
often more than meets the eye.
the entire truth.
Don't always take everything at face value.
How does one find the entire truth?

Answer: Highlighter or highlighting


First, the wood makes the mobile home.
Then, the steel comes in hopes of singing in unison and in harmony.
Although usually unnoticed, the felt is very important.
Finally, the plastic makes the finishing touch.
What am I?

OR the steel comes in hopes of living in harmony.

Answer: A piano


I am essential in everyday life.
Even when unaware, I sometimes cause strife.
I'm virtually unlimited & extremely versatile.
Perhaps I am heavy, perhaps I am cheap.
I may be as close as your breath or as far as a mile.
Many use me, but I never grow weary.
If only everyone saw me as cheery.

Answer: Mathematics


I live inside of you, going here & going there.
Sometimes I make it outside to the fresh, open air.
Many don't wish to see me; many are afraid.
But if used correctly, I can come to one's aid.

Answer: Blood


I am very light, but I carry much weight.
I'm often hot on the top & cold on the bottom.
I travel the world as I change my shape(s).

Answer: (A) Cloud(s)


I can't be seen by the naked eye,
but I am seen by all, even the blind.
Sometimes I cause fear, other times I'm pleasant.
But many times when I leave, you've forgotten I was present.
I am always very difficult to describe.
That's why I tend to have a mysterious vibe.

Answer: (A) Dream(s)


I can't be held, but I can be felt.
I add experiences under your belt.
I can be good, and I can be bad.
It depends on the situation you just had.
I often cause pain, but I don't stay long.
It's my way of helping you grow big & strong.

Answer: Emotion(s)


I usually have five parts (sometimes only one).
One could go beyond my fifth part,
But the farther one goes, the harder it becomes.
Sometimes I'm on my own, but I'm often
Doubled, quadrupled, and even more.
Once in a while, my 'little brother' makes an appearance.
I am usually seen as more important than him, but
He can help those with less experience.
However, on the other end of the spectrum, he can also
help the experts show off their stuff.

Answer: Staff (staves) 'little brother' Ossia


Movements on the right and often the left;
Stillness is also important.
Accuracy is essential.
Knowledge is your brother, and
Preparation your kin.
The power is nearly surreal,
And comes with great responsibility.
Are you ready? Watch me carefully.
I'm counting on you to do your part as well.
Thank you very much.

Answer: Conductor or Conducting


Stop for a moment. Then you may proceed.
Although I'm usually very specific,
If I'm viewed at correctly, I'm unlimited.
I help to [define/categorize] many a creature.
One could also dine with me, but only after the deed is done.

Answer: (The Number) Eight


It all starts with light.

Here you are in the forest all alone. The darkness is haunting but it is sublime. You hear a creature's cry and the howling wind. It is getting dark....
