This is a piece by John Baldesari is called Beethoven's Trumpet. The trumpet coming out of the ear is a representation of what Beethoven had to do later in life because of hearing loss. I feel like the piece is listening to the world, somewhat of an inverse of what was happening to Beethoven. People were coming to listen to the work he created, and in this piece he's now listening to what else the world has to offer. I like this work because its something that I can relate to. I love classical music, and Beethoven was a great composer, even when he went deaf.
