Beethoven's 9th, on his 238th

Beethoven showed up 238 years ago today. No one else, no one else ...

My violin teacher used to tell me, "You paid for the whole bow; use all of it." Those violinists aren't wasting any bow money.

NB: earlier title said "Beethoven's 7th, on his 238th". I do know the difference! ... but had begun to post the 7th and changed my mind but not my title.
