to play without passion is inexcusable."

Enough ghouls!
I'm here tonight because PBS has defaced the Sleeping Beauty ballet with vampires.  I watched ninety seconds of it.  Paul said devils and principalities have no power over us.  I don't spend any time studying their ways, either. 
The real Appassionnata reminds me of dark forests, rain, and stone building.  Mold is enough of an enemy in real life, I don't need ghouls.

I think it's important to have ghouls, as well as a plahn to achieve those ghouls.

I'm guessing this has nothing to do with the 'fate' motif of Beethoven's Appassionata.
