In 1803 Ludwig led a symphony orchestra in a birthday concert of two new works. Now to celebrate his BD, orchestra's around the world, or at least some of them, did the same thing. Except Ludwig no longer shows up.
One of my daughters played viola in such a concert and we went to hear it. Not his best work or his most famous. But still solid work. It was towards the end of his life and he knew he was going deaf and nothing could be done about it. Some of the music is clearly by a guy who his deeply pissed off at the hand he is being dealt.
And I'm sitting there thinking that this passage... of that section... could be played clawhammer.

In the 60's a fine banjo musician named Sandy Bull played Carmina Burana (sp?) on the banjo. Oddly good. Odd. Good.
