Good letter!
By the way, the Seventh Symphony is my fav...
Re; Beethoven; I cast my vote for The Emperor; a powerhouse of a piece meant to be heard at top volume and vibration.
On another note; I hear Hillary in also sniffing around here in the Bay Area, for dollars and attention. Can’t wait for them both to leave.
Mine is the Sixth (Pastoral), but they’re all incredible.
