The A-Z Beethoven Quiz (rules of the game)

[Quijote]

Are you dyslexic, Philip? They say that one always remembers where one was when JFK was shot, but I'll always remember where I was when J&K got steam-rollered...

Oops. Sorry about that. Back to "J" and "K".

[Quijote]

Need a "J" guys 'n gals.

[PDG]

M = Maria Theresia, dedicatee of the septet op.20

Shouldn't that be 'T'? (This is getting confusing...).

[Quijote]

J = Owen Janders. Wrote a fascinating analysis of Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto which I now refer to (personally) as the "Orpheus Concerto".
So, back on track now.

[Quijote]

Roehre, give us another "M" if you don't mind. I know you can!

[Quijote]

No worries Roehre, I'll repay your favour:
M = Macaroni, one of B's preferred meals.

[Quijote]

On track now for the "N" ...

[PDG]

M - Middle Period, that era of works where Beethoven stood above the clouds forging music's new direction with ever-increasing power.

[PDG]

No worries Roehre, I'll repay your favour:
M = Macaroni, one of B's preferred meals.

And one of his favourite Italian composers...

[Quijote]

And one of his favourite Italian composers...

Nah, that was Risotto.

[Michael]

Nottebohm, Gustav. Produced an important thematic catalogue of Beethoven's works.

(Nah is not acceptable.)

[Quijote]

N is for ...

[Quijote]

Jeez, that was quick!
"O" is for ...

[Michael]

There are over a dozen Os to be found in a certain body of Beethoven's work. I'll abstain (it's not my turn anyway).

I'll give a clue: Not PDG's favourite Beethoven.

[Roehre]

O = Opus, number given to a work, not necessarily by Beethoven (like 24, 39, 41, 42, 43, 63, 64, 81b, 103, 129, 136, 137, 138 and upwards)
