It's time for me to start boasting again about my gorgeous granddaughter.
Born on the same date as Ludwig van, she is now two years old and absolutely beautiful. Sadly, she is showing very little signs of musical talent. Okay, she can play the first three movements of the Hammerklavier but she makes a total mess of the finale!
Seriously, I don't care if she is tone deaf or - worse still - winds up on the "X Factor". I have said this last year and the year before, but I still find it amazing that my only granddaughter should be born on the same day as that cantankerous deaf composer that I have been obsessed with before I even got married!
Her name, Anna, was decided upon long before the day she was born. (It's a version of my mother's name.) Another weird coincidence was that Ludwig had a little sister of the same name who lived for only a day or two.
Anyway, today is the big day!
