German term
über den Bereich des Menschlichen,
I can't make out wheter 'über den Bereich des Menschlichen' means positive or negative.
(The speaker is being positive about the movement for sure. )
Does that mean something like "not too much human, not too muchsentimental "?
The context is:
Der langsame Satz der Neunten ist ein berühmtes Adagio.
Ein Adagio, das so ein bisschen über den Bereich des Menschlichen,
wie man sich fühlt, ob man deprimiert ist oder ob man sich wohlfühlt, über den
Bereich von bloßer Subjektivität rausgeht.
Das hat so etwas Feierliches und Hymnisches, aber das Ganze ist sehr ausführlich und langsam und doch im Großen und Ganzen höchst ernst ohne melancholisch und so wahnsinnig expressiv zu sein.
Thank you for your help.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: 'Transcends' is good. How about 'transcends the human realm' or 'transcends the human experience' ?
