    K 466. Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 for which Beethoven wrote cadenzas.
    (That's why the DGG Complete Beethoven Edition contains a complete work by Mozart!)

      Good one, Michael!

        L = London. Haydn had planned to take Beethoven there with him, but the project never came to be realized.

          M = Marriage, something Beethoven never got around to.

            What? London, a place Beethoven never visited? And Marriage, an institution into which Beethoven never entered?? What next? Neptune - a planet never to give an LvB concert?! Well, gentlemen! I take my leave, and off I shall go with a huff and a puff...

              The marriage bit was something that Beethoven wanted quite badly, at least with certain women, not to mention a certain letter to a certain person that was never delivered.

              Speaking of never, hope that you never repeat your cramp discomfort.

                Well, it is round 15 (?)

                My N was going to be an unrecorded interview with Beethoven.

                Q: "Herr Beethoven, have you any children?"
                A: "Nein, nein!".
                Q: "Good Heavens! And you never married!"
                A: "Sorry! I thought you meant symphonies! I am deaf, you know!!"

                  We posted at the same time, Sorrano. And it was my cramps, not PDG,s.
                  Actually, Cramps would make a good C for round 212, as Beethoven suffered all his life from them.

                      It is quite possible that he did suffer writers cramp now and then.
                      Anyhoo, I am getting confused where we are now.

                        N for..

                        Beethoven's opinion of Napoleon :
                        Even with that Bastard I made a mistake.

                          Sorry, I was suffering from a brain cramp.

                            O = Oblique motion: Two melodic lines, where one voice remains stationary, while the other moves. Beethoven would have studied this contrapuntal principle with his various teachers.

                              Piffle!

                              Sorry - I meant:

                              Pfeffel, G. C. He wrote the lyrics to WoO117 "Der freie Mann".
                              That's about it.
