[Sorrano]

So did we just skip G, H, and I?

So did we just skip G, H, and I?

Goodness, How Idiotic of us! I'm glad someone is awake.

Herewith, one G:

Gassner, Dr. The hospital doctor who took care of Beethoven's nephew, Karl, after his suicide attempt.

Horn Sonata

Beethoven composed his Horn Sonata in F major, Op. 17 in 1800 .

Hope this hasn't been mention already.

[Quijote]

Guys and guys of the non-guy kind: I'm in Vienna, can't keep up, get a grip!

[Sorrano]

I is for Idiot, certainly an epithet Beethoven applied to servants, publishers, and patrons.

Thanks for the tip, Michael!

I know I'm an idiot but there's no need to broadcast it!

J

The J ewish musicians were not allowed to play music by Beethoven because he was a famed German composer and musician; Jews were not allowed to play German music.

Slap my wrists if I am wrong.

You are no idiot! Rather you are one of the more clever people here.

[Michael]

That doesn't say much for the other people here!

Krumpholz, Wenzel. The twelve measure work "Gesang der Monche" was written by B in 1817. to commemorate the death of his friend

[Quijote]

Hi guys (and chaps of the non-chap kind) : Quijote calling from Vienna, my last night, just had my last Wiener Schnitzel [sob! Want more!] sitting in the hotel lobby typing this:
L = Lobkowitz, the Lobkowitz Palace where I was this afternoon, feeling up the facade...
We haven't done this one already, have we?

[Michael]

Mannheim rocket. A rapidly ascending phrase which opens the last movement of Mozart's G minor symphony (along with a ton of "Sturm und Drangs" from a slightly earlier period).
A very similar theme opens Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor.

[Quijote]

There's a similar rocket in the Scherzo of the 5th Symphony.

[Megan]

Nameday Overture.

Beethoven Namensfeier Overture in C major, Op.115

[Michael]

There's a similar rocket in the Scherzo of the 5th Symphony.

Yes - the sequence of intervals is identical to the Mozart theme. (It's not coincidental as Nottebohm has discovered 29 measures of the Mozart finale in B's sketchbooks for the Fifth.)
And the opening of the second theme in the C minor's finale is almost identical to that of the slow movement of the Jupiter symphony.

[Michael]

Back to the Os and I must admit an unfair advantage, having all the texts and titles of the folksongs which came in a booklet with the DGG Complete Beethoven Edition.
About a hundred of them begin with "O or Oh!"
(As usual, I exaggerate.)
I may have used this already, but, trust me, I am the Wizard of Os:

"O Sanctissima" WoO 157, No.4

PDG also has a complete edition but he hates the folksongs. He really does. I wish somebody else would talk to him.
