Andy stopped by to remind me of an important fact, namely, he wants Greenies treats because he’s a good kitty.
(Yes, I gave him his treats because, yes, he’s a good kitty!)

Ludwig van Beethoven turns 251 years old today and is holding up really well!
Just watched A Charlie Brown Christmas. It always reminds me of Beethoven’s birthday
Me, too!
what lovely music! Very relaxing
Yes, it’s one most people can like, even if Classical (Early Romantic, rather) music isn’t to their taste.
Andy is always a very good boy! 🙂
I have always loved that piano piece Für Elise.
Both are winners!
Good morning, Andy! Mr. Bee would be impressed with the pianos we have today…
I would agree, John. Herte’s an article about that subject. I understand he really https://www.kcrw.com/music/articles/beethovens-pianosruined his pianos, pounding away on them.
Thanks!
He knows how to get round you
Absolutely!
It sems to me Andy listens to the “letter to Elise ” You are lucky Doug to own a musician kitty! 🙂

He lives with a person who enjoys Baroque opera, including Lully and Rameau among your country’s contribution to the art. (I love Charpentier, though he didn’t compose operas as such) Delibes’ “Lakme” is quite enjoyable, too. Gluck, while not French, wrote works I enjoy that were sung in French. Anyway, Beethoven and Mozart were among me earliest exposure to the music of their periods, thanks to a musical sister.
You have a musician ‘s soul, Doug .
At reading what you write I would become nostalgic because I played flute or sang piece of the musicians you quote , . It was in the past!
Perhaps you play music instruments?
I am amazed too by the place of the French musicians in your heart.

I played trombone as a kid.
happy birthday to a great man… we wonder what he would say if he could see for what we use his music sometimes….
Well, I used it for a kitty blog post… (But I regard that as seriously important usage. LOL!)
