202 years ago, this Wednesday, as you know, Beethoven hosted the epic concert where he debuted numerous utterly classic pieces. Here's my article from two years ago:

If there was one night in history I could like to revisit it would be the night of that concert. But I would require a hot-water bottle! -

There were two occasions when you could have done a 'Doctor Who' - in August 2003 when I went to Vienna for a reconstruction of that concert and with temperatures around 37C we could have done with air-conditioning inside the Theater an Der Wien rather than hot water bottles!!Originally posted by Michael View Post
The more appropriate event though was of course Dec 22nd 2008 which I was unfortunately unable to make.'Man know thyself'Comment

There was a semi-reconstruction of concert about 5 years ago at Lincoln Center in New York, with most of the pieces, but obviously hot not cold weather! I was out of town...Comment
