- What was the point of “Immortal Beloved” according to you?

(You don’t have to answer if you don’t wish to)

I actually enjoyed astronaut John Glenn "Ed Harris" as old Ludwig in "Copying Beethoven" - especially the attention to the fugue from Op. 133.

Beethoven fugues are great. The Hammerklavier's still eludes me, but I've got Op. 109 and 110 fairly performance ready now. Learning these has been a long journey and my first teacher insisted that I start learning them in order from Op. 2 but I skipped around later, and a few don't move me at all (Op. 22).

I preferred John Belushi's portrayal.
