16 December 2020 Happy birthday, Ludwig!

[KathyB]

Today is Beethoven's birthday, something I hope to celebrate by blasting his music until the walls of my house shake.

I used to keep the 5th symphony in the car and turn it up very loud (particularly the fourth movement) when other cars would pull up next to me blasting hip-hop or heavy metal or house music.

I tried doing that with some string quartets, but they don't have quite the same impact.
