Maybe I'll actually read all those articles about him in the NYTs...

No! Wait! I just remembered (this is kind of embarrassing) that I bought one of those Great Courses, the one on Beethoven's Piano Sonatas, but I never listened to it. Maybe I should start tomorrow.

That's an excellent idea, thanks for the reminder PJ!

Have the sheet music for Fur Elise on mandolin.
May give it a shot.
That could make him roll over.

Same.

It won't be pretty, because I've never played very much Beethoven, but I'll give it a shot.

Should I attempt to play some of his music, after not having played much piano in a decade, or should I listen to his music instead? Or maybe a little of both...

My boat is named Fugue. A racing sailboat requires a lot of coordinated moves.
Sailors ask how "Fugue" is pronounced.
I tell them and then offer an alternative, two syllable pronunciation.
