may I join? ludwig's birthday
Hi everybody, I am a new member, please don't note my English; I am Italian and actually, I was a teacher of English but I'm not updated to your slang...So my language will sound a bit "scholar". I adore L. and like this forum very much. I've been longing for the new film, I hope it will come to Italy! Oops, my time at the library internet point is over. Happy birthday Ludwig!

Welcome to the forum Terry - although the exact date of Beethoven's birth is not certain, he was baptised on the 17th Dec 1770 and as the custom was for this to take place within 24 hours of birth, it is most likely that he was born on 16th December.

Happy Birthday Ludwig! December 16th, 1770, this is the date widely celebrated as the birthday of composer Ludwig van Beethoven. He was baptized in Bonn, Germany on December 17, 1770. Sometime ago I heard of a piano piece entitled, "Happy Birthday, Ludwig". The name of the composer I believe is Leonid Hambro and he arranged the "Happy Birthday" song in the style of Beethoven. There are six variations of this song arranged in the styles of such works as Fur Elise The Pathetique and The Moonlight Sonata. Humbro basically borrowed motives and themes from these works for the arrangements of these songs. I remember that they were quite clever.

The Ninth sounds like a great piece to listen to today in honour of this great composer!!
