Lawrence can be classified into this group. He is well known for his reoccurring theme that romantic love is psychologically redeeming.

Fate and choice are so intertwined that our choices determine our fate, and our fate determines our choices.

A Feminist Journey through Beethoven's Musical Structure Traditional analysis of Beethoven's use of Sonata Allegro form tends to focus on harmonic or melodic movement and key relationships. This study stretches such investigations to include questions of historical context and philosophic motivations that drive a composer to structure music in a certain way.
