    I was talking about Beethoven last night. I would not have liked to be around him, but I am very grateful to him for his music. An interesting monument: thanks for the lovely photos!

    Simona,
    did you read his "Heiligenstadt Testament"?
    It might change your opinion of him.

    Beethoven is certainly my favorite among the great composers.

    ah holy ground indeed. On the point of suicide he decided on "Life for Art" and we are so much riched for his gift of music.

    Thanks for this magical post Merisi.

    Time to listen to his Septet.

    Merisi, I am so, so rushed for time right now, but do want to let you know how much I am enjoying seeing your posts about Christmastime reaching Vienna.

    When you might find time, would you please let me know if you think might be your favorite Vienna season.

    Your posts are working their mesmerizing magic, and I would so like to have my own return visit to your beautiful city.
