    Did you know that as a huge monument, the Beethoven's 9th symphony was built on 1 small interval of a perfect 4th ?
    That's called Composition...

    I believe Beethoven only composed one opera ,,,Fidelio ????....which I enjoy as well as his piano pieces ...Moonlight Sonata,etc and symphonies...the 9th stands out for me.
    My coat's old, but it's got a good lining
    Round the cuffs it's started to fray
    Found a hole in the back of my pocket
    Must 'a' lost my money that way.

    Oh, God help me it's started to rain
    Oh, God help me I'm feeling the strain.

    I'm with you on that one, for the most part. The few Beethoven pieces I enjoy tend to be the ones that are the most un-Beethovenian: the Opus 109 piano sonata, the 4th and 7th Symphonies, etc.
