That is interesting that Beethoven kept this in a drawer for four years.

Irving Berlin kept “God Bless America” in a drawer for over 10 years.

Chopin didn’t like his 20th Nocturne, and didn’t want it published.

And I just heard on Christian Radio that a large number of unpublished, unknown hymns of Fannie Crosby are about to be recorded and released after sitting 100 years in a drawer.

Oh my...I am listening and i hear some unmistakable quotes from the 6th Symphony! Or did the 6th lift then from this? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The serenade came a decade before the Sixth Symphony.

"God Bless America" sat in a desk drawer for 21 years.

Not your imagination. It was his style. You’ll get a kick out of his string quintet tomorrow night. Some of it is a look backward, but much of it pushes the envelope of his era.

The cool thing is, although I have never heard these pieces before, they are unmistakeably Beethoven!

For one thing, Mozart would never have written a piece for this ensemble. He disliked the flute, preferring the oboe and in his later years the clarinet. Beethoven appreciated the flute.

Good evening, Army Bro!

A day that was as momentous as any day in History! When the long chronicle of Western Civilization is finally compiled, D-Day will rank with Thermopylae, Salamis, Tours, and Lepanto as battles that smote tyranny and preserved Freedom for all!

I like the flute, but, although I have owned a few of them, I never could get it right.

So I stick with what I do well.

BLUE CAPRICE

This movie about the DC Snipers begins with this haunting excerpt from one of Franz Schubert’s last piano sonatas. The middle portion of the movement, which was not used in the movie, is a nervous breakdown set to music. Every time you think you’ve figured out the key, he pulls the rug out from under you.

Schubert: Piano Sonata in A, D. 959, second movement
