Sure, surely someone's covered the aforementioned namesake by the composer? Anyway, a bit more digging and it turns out a film was derived from the works. An interpretative piece. PROMETHEUS Short movie. Written and directed by Zoltan Demme http://www.zoltandemmeworks.net/eng/files/prometheus_essence_of_the_world_beethoven_ballet_movie_leprosy.pdf [i] "In December 1981, Spacecraft Pioneer 10 took the ID card of mankind into the cosmos. A steel plate that indicates where humankind is located in the Universe presents the outlook of the man and woman, and contains some other information. Eighteen years later, on the shore of the Malaqui Island, a steel plate was found, quite similar to the one we sent into the cosmos but containing new marks on it! It was carried into a safe place and put under examination. ...Hard to believe that we received an answer of any civilization may exist in the cosmos. However, the original illustration of the Universe, of our solar system, of man and woman were cancelled on the plate and substituted with abstract new illustrations! Made by anyone, the meaning of these changes was evident: our Universe in the reality is not the Universe, but rather something else. Our solar system is not a solar system, but rather somewhat else. Man is not man, but instead some sort of other creature. ...Until this time nothing was verified about the origination of the plate, about the changes on it, and the strange statement placed on it. Universe, in the reality, is not the Universe; the solar system is not a solar system, and man is not man, but something else. (IN UNDERTONES) Anyhow! What does this statement more precisely mean? We have to turn back to ancient centuries if we want to understand it."[/i] Whaaaaaaa? Anyone seen this?

You are right, MVMNT, this is an interpretative piece. I saw the divX version past week... I think this movie has an extremely distinguished merit, and the writer-director has an extrem talent--the deepness of thoughts and emotions fully convinced me. However, this is not a sci-fi tale, just the opposite, it has real scientific basis for even the smallest details. I too enjoyed the good production value--here production value means faithfullness to the ancient subject, very carefully elaborated ancient scenes, and this is much more harder task than making animation and applying the highest technology from second to second.
