From the archives (December 16, 2009): Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Ludwig!


(Charles Schulz, Peanuts, March 20, 1969)

(First page of music of the Pathetique Sonata in C Minor, reprint of the first edition of 1799, The Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, San Jose State University, San Jose, California, USA)

*Happy birthday, Ludwig!

P.S. - Here is something that wasn't in my 2009 post: András Schiff lecturing on and playing Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata in C Minor with the original manuscript displayed and from which, if you read music, you can follow along (25:49).

Enjoy, if you are of a mind! And if you are not of a mind, there is always another post to look forward to.
