Roll over, Beethoven

Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) Composing His "Missa Solemnis", 1820, Josef Karl Stieler

...and tell Tchaikovsky the news. (3:36)

My, how times have changed.

Happy birthday, Ludwig.

  1. I enjoyed the video. In high school, I played snare or bass drum in pep band and we often played "Rollover Beethoven" at basketball games.

  2. Beethoven is my favourite composer. Chuck's ok, I guess :-) I suspect the former would be turning over, not rolling over, hearing the latter.
