26th March

[Michael]

Well, here it is again - and I haven't decided which piece of music to play - if any. Suggestions?

[Hofrat]

The three equali for trombones is my choice.

Very fitting. I think one of them - or an arrangement -was played at his funeral.

[Quijote]

Chuck Berry, Roll over Beethoven. Life goes on ...

[PDG]

Yes. Considering I have been known to forget my girlfriend's birthday, then this date doesn't seem to mean too much (and my gf is still alive...)!

However, I am looking forward to 2027 and the bicentennial, even though by then I'll be in my mid-sixties. But - HEY! - Hang on! - isn't everyone always telling me that the mid-60s were great?!...

I'll be meeting Beethoven in person by then, so there!

Please say hello to him on my behalf, Michael. And don't forget to send us a post mortem message, clarifying (for once and for all) who the hell the Immortal Belovèd was!
Thank you.

Concerning the 26th March : "Life is short, art is long". That is worth celebrating.

Cavatina would be my choice

I thought the bicentennial was around 2019 or 2020?

The 250th anniversary of his birth will be in 2020 and it should be celebrated just like Mozart's. Beethoven has lost out on bicentennials and whatever since 1970 when the anniversary hoopla wasn't what it is today.
