Too few people of today listen to Beethoven’s 9th symphony.

I like Sarkozy.

He probably has done so.

But all too few people of any influence in this world rely in this comforting tune of wisdom, moderation and religion.

I prefer Sergei Rachmaninov to Beethoven. Rach's "Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor" will forever be etched in my mind.

The 9th is second only to the 5th in popularity, I suspect.

I prefer his Late Sting Quartets. ...especially the Große Fuge.

Nothing like listening to a bit of the ole Ludwig Van.
