What are you listening to now?

[Peter]

Mahler symphony no.3.

[AeolianHarp]

Yes it is just incredible how Beethoven managed to continually surpass himself!

He is extraordinary.

The late works take time to assimilate and appreciate - as a teenager it was always the middle period works that attracted me most and I did struggle with the late quartets and sonatas - strange how we change.

I love all the periods!

[Peter]

He is extraordinary.

Yes and I should have added how he constantly reinvents himself - each work is unique, yet they have the 'Beethoven' mark.

I love all the periods!

So do I now!

I really love these early piano quartets, but just listen to this piece and hear where the cheeky young Beethoven stole some of his opening:

Somebody else must have mentioned Firefox, Aeolian. I'm not that well up. I only have Windows Explorer and Google Chrome.
