Happy Beethoven's Birthday!

Not just Schroeder, but no less than Anton Webern believed that Beethoven's birthday should be a day of national celebration. And I concur! What a good, non-denominational way to have a winter-solstice festival. My (very indulgent) wife and I exchange gifts and then listen to a Beethoven masterwork.

Happy Beethoven's Birthday everyone!
