    Ah yes. There is a lot of great music out there, but for me, nothing surpasses Beethoven. The other music serves more for a diversion so that one does not lose their sense of appreciation for Beethoven. Just take an excursion away from Beethoven for a while and you'll come running back.

      You won't believe what I have got! A 1930 gramophone ( no horn) and 78s! I have a 78 of Brahms- of course loads of crackles but it is charming. I like old records for the vintage charm, but yes Beethoven is best on the highest quality sound. Would be nice to find a way old 78 of something of his though.
      Since I posted this I looked through my 78s and I found The Turkish March there! A 1930s recording!!!

      Yes, Harvey true lol...

        How about a 1935 Ninth from 78 RPM in Digital format: Felix Weingartner, conductor
        Scroll down for the downloadable files.

          Fascinating! It's the same orchestra as on my 78. The conductor for the Turkish March was Karl Alwin. Oh and on the other side of my 78 is Mozart's Turkish March. I haven't played it yet as I need to get new needles for the gramophone.My gramophone is a Columbia Grafonola.

          P.S Can it be saved onto one's home computer?

            RIght click the music files (I usually go with the VBR MP3s) and save to your hard drive. Then burn a disc.

            That site has all sorts of music transposed from 78s and it is free, they link a copyright page and music copyrighting is variable depending on how old it is. Apparently stuff on 78s is old enough to be free.

                I feel an all Beethoven craze coming on....(with the exception of my favorite works by Handel) Does that count?

                    Hayden is very good. I have his Missa Brevis and it is quite beautiful.
