A friend of mine recently said, “I’m starting to wonder … why listen to anything else?!”
He meant Beethoven.
Now I find myself slipping into some similar ‘Beethoven vortex!’
With 503 pieces in my library; (each movement counts as 1) – I’m also starting to wonder: Why listen to anything else? His music just ‘does the job’. The job of touching head and heart, disturbing, uplifting and challenging one’s musical conceptualizations. I offer this piece up as an example of “Music at it’s Best”
So what do you reckon dear listeners? Would you still tune in to jimsclassicalmusic.com? If all I played was the Big B?
here’s his String Quartet #16 the third movement

May 8, 2012 at 11:27 pmI was about to agree with the above, until I scrolled down to another post that featured Puccini’s O mio babbino caro as the last piece…what is life without Puccini?! Sorry Jim, I love the big B, but nothing stirs my soul like Puccini.
