"Wendy's new Breakfast 2 for $3 Biggie Bundles let you create your own delicious combo. Choose from a sausage biscuit, egg and cheese biscuit, small seasoned potatoes, and a medium hot coffee. But it's obvious which combo's the best. Sausage biscuit and small seasoned potatoes. Well, maybe it's the fresh cracked egg and cheese biscuit with a medium hot coffee. Or two savory sausage biscuits. Uh, whichever you pick, you can't go wrong. Choose wisely. Choose Wendy's new 2 for $3 Biggie Bundles. Well, I'm gonna write a little letter, I'm gonna mail it to my local DJ. Before either of us were born. Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record, I want my jockey to play. Chuck Berry was a yes, yes, I'm sure. No, I wasn't. Rollover Beethoven is 1956, dude. Don't age me out. Did Chuck Berry remain a big deal after I was born? And even after you were born, yes. But this architect of rock and roll, the great Chuck Berry, who lived a long life, he would have been 97 today, only passed away about six years ago. So big happy birthday to Chuck Berry and Rhonda. So that's a nice shared birthday there. Happy birthday, Rhonda. Yeah, man. So there you go. And she looks great, don't we all? All of us skinny folks running around here just high -fiving each other with soda and all the good ways that you can take that weight off and keep it off. So happy birthday, Rhonda. Happy, happy, happy. Happy, happy, happy. I'm not so happy about Kate Grainger. I'm not so happy about Jake Elsie. I mean, you gotta explain this to me. I mean, I think I know the answer to it. Let me read a Bill Kristol tweet. This is what Bill Kristol wrote. Really? Really? Well, I think it applies. I think it applies to the Kate Graingers of the world, because I want to understand what they're thinking. I mean, Trey Gowdy last night said that people aren't mad. It's not against Jim Jordan. They are taking it out on Jim Jordan supporters. That's really what this is about. Bill Kristol posted something on X, formerly Twitter, yesterday that I thought was really notable. He wrote, I came to DC to work in the Reagan administration because, to oversimplify, it was pro -constitution, pro -U .S. global leadership, pro -military, pro -Israel, pro -democratic capitalism, and pro -American dream. And that's why I now support the Biden administration and Democrats.

We're well into the second half of 2023. I say the words, but they don't register. So it is. It's a lesson in life. Very revealing piece in the New York Times. The steep cost of Ron DeSantis' vaccine turnabout. Hmm. So the entire, it's a very long piece, front page. And it is about how it was a bad thing when Ron DeSantis opened up restaurants and other places, whereas other states kept them closed. They're very angry that Florida was a freer state than any of the Democrat -run states. They're angry. So the trick is to say, because they were wrong, they crushed small businesses while leaving big businesses richer than ever. That is, all the Democrats succeeded in doing was to make the rich far, far richer and crush the middle class. That is what they did in the pandemic and crush children in schools. They hate DeSantis as much as they hate Trump. They hate Trump personally. They hate DeSantis ideologically. So this is a fascinating thing. So I was thinking, now, I've got to read this piece, even though it's a very long piece. I have to read this piece. Did you read that piece? So, of course, as usual, there's a line that undoes the whole piece way, way into the piece that nobody will read. It's fascinating. I'll read it to you in a moment. So there's a tremendous hatred of the totalitarian hates the freedom lover. That is definitional. The bad hate the good. And it is just, it's a given. DeSantis did such good for his state. I visited Florida when I could not enter a restaurant where I live in California. And I watched people eat with no masks. It was one of the most dramatic American moments of my life. It was like visiting Austria when I used to go to communist countries of Eastern Europe. And I would say, wow, this is freedom again. Wow. So they hate him. And therefore, they smear him. That's what the left does better than anybody and better than anything else it does. It destroys the good, smears the good. So the entire piece is about how poorly Florida performed because it opened up schools and because it opened up restaurants. So now I will read to you from the middle of the piece. It's precious, my friends. It is just precious. The name of the piece is the steep cost of Ron DeSantis's vaccine turnabout. Once a vaccine advocate, the Florida governor lost his enthusiasm for the shot. Before the Delta Wave sent COVID hospitalizations and deaths soaring. This is the subtitle. It's a grim chapter he now leaves out of his rosy retelling of his pandemic response. All right. Now I'm going to read to you one sentence from the middle. All right. Let's go. Let's go. There it is. I would say it's directly in the middle. I don't know how many words are in the piece. It's thousands of words. Overall, the state's death rate during the pandemic, adjusted for age, ended up better than the national average. The entire piece is about how he killed his citizens. I'm not being cute. What am I getting wrong? Why does that not undo the point of the whole piece? If the overall death rate was better than the national average, why did he do wrong? So what do they attribute it to? They're stuck at the New York Times. They had to put in that line because otherwise the piece would be so dishonest that anybody who knew anything about Florida would say it's just dishonest piece. So here's the next sentence. Some public health experts credit the state's robust health system and strong performance in the pandemic's first year or so. Whatever it is, they can't acknowledge this might have been the correct thing to do. Let me read to you one more thing from the piece. Florida was also one of only four states to require schools to hold in -person classes in the fall of 2020. Isn't that something? Did you know only four states did that? Wow. A move that Mr. DeSantis has said defied the nation's public health experts. In fact, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, a federal infectious disease expert on former President Donald Trump's task force, I love the way they identify him. All of a sudden he's a Trump man, said repeatedly that that summer and fall that schools could open safely with the right precautions. pardon So, me while I get a vomit bag and I'll be right back. Sean, play Beethoven's Ninth. I will be truly displeased if you barf anywhere but in that can. Okay, you will not be displeased. It gets worse. Nonetheless, facing strong opposition from teachers' unions, nearly three -fourths of the nation's 100 largest school districts offered only remote learning that fall. See, I'm cursed and blessed. I read everything like it's Torah. When I studied Bible, and this is the reason I'm writing a Bible commentary, and this year I finished the fourth of five volumes, God willing, toughest project of my life, we were taught to read every word. There was no such thing as skimming biblical text and talking about in the Hebrew. So, I continue to do that. If I read, I read every word. So, I caught this. So, listen carefully to the way in which the New York Times lies. Or, shall we say, shows no commitment to truth but bends it. So, let's parse this paragraph. In the fall of 2020, Florida was one of only four states that kept its schools open. So, that is a great statement about Governor DeSantis. Great. He did not ruin his state's children like the Governor Newsom did in California. And brags about it. So, what can they do with that? They can't possibly show DeSantis as heroic, and it was heroic. The pressure not to open schools was intense. So, they say, well, big deal. Fauci wanted the same thing. Now, I will read you the sentence about Fauci. Fauci, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, said repeatedly that summer and fall that schools could open safely with the right precautions. Do you understand the lie? The non sequitur? So, he wasn't for opening. He was for opening with the right precautions. And, what the hell are those? Those little words could, not should, could and only with the right precautions. So, New York Times, did DeSantis take the right precautions? Whatever the hell they are? So, such dishonesty. But, then they are honest, nonetheless. So, why didn't he? Even the next sentence is a non sequitur. About the teachers unions. I will be back. Gold dealers are a dime a dozen. They're everywhere.

The Left's War on Western Civilization Is Nothing New
"Remember when what was it? Was it Adam below? No Adam below is the sun soul bellow. Remember soul bellow asked when he said the west had produced the best literature. And he said, where was the proof? And then he mentioned some African tribe. And he was called a racist then. He was widely denounced. This is not new folks. It's now much more powerful, but it's not new. And the now retired fool chief music critic of The New York Times, Anthony Thomas ini. A true fool. Who's to say Beethoven's third is better. Than Indonesian gamelin music. So when I say that the left is warring on western civilization, this is. Not an attack, it's a statement. And if they're honest, they'll admit it.
Stuff You Should Know
"beethoven" Discussed on Stuff You Should Know
"All right, so here we are with Beethoven's hair. And they did some research on his DNA, and they came back with some pretty interesting results. One of which, and they kind of figured this, but they were like, all right, his hearing loss wasn't genetic. It rarely is genetic anyway when you have adult onset hearing loss. So they kind of figured that was coming. And that was kind of proved out. But they said he does have poopy pants a lot. He suffers from GI issues. And he has liver disease or had liver disease. Yeah. So they could not find anything that they could connect to the GI problems. It sounds like he just had some bad clams that stayed with him or some sort of bad luck, but it wasn't a genetic thing. But the thing that they did connect to the his genetics, his genes, were his liver issues. Yeah, apparently he suffered from pretty bad cirrhosis, it looks like. They know from just sort of historical record that he did have attacks of jaundice, a pretty clear issue with your liver going on. But they actually found genetic proof. They found particular variant two copies of the PNP LA three gene linked to cirrhosis and then single copies of two variants of a gene that causes hemochromatosis. Another liver condition, and then they also found a little surprise in that that don't think they even knew about this at all until then, that he had hepatitis B yes, at the very least in the final months of his life, possibly before, the thing is, is that's not scandalous, but a lot of people in Europe had hep B at the time. Another thing that a lot of people did at the time was drink lots and lots of booze by today's standards. And they're long been questioned about whether Beethoven's jaundice was brought on by liver disease brought on by excessive drinking. And apparently there's even record that mentions he liked to drink, but it was not clear how much he liked to drink and if you like to drink more than the average person. So apparently Tristan beg went one step further, examined records as closely as they could and said, I think he just drank like a normal amount. Like yeah, it'd be a lot today, but that's not what causes liver problems. There was genetic. Right. Pretty interesting stuff. Have you ever seen immortal beloved? The Beethoven movie with Gary Oldman. No, I have not. It was good. I think it was 90s. I want to say it was 90s. It was good. I enjoyed it. When's the last time you saw the professional with Gary Oldman? That's been a while. I saw it a month ago. It was good. I bet it holds up. Even better than it was back then. Yeah. It's amazing. And Natalie Portman being 12, like out X everybody else on the screen. She's great. That whole movie is just so good. Leon. The immortal beloved is good. It's not Amadeus level. As evidenced by the fact that it didn't like clean up at the Academy Awards, but it was pretty good. So just remind me, Amadeus was played by the guy who was in animal House, right? Yeah. Okay. I wanted to be Abraham. Was salieri. And boy, boy, that was good. I want to see that again soon. That's a good one. I have not ever seen it. I never got around to it. Amadeus is good. It's worth a look if you ever get a hankering for 19, I think that was 80s biopic. Yes, for sure. Because the theme song rock me Amadeus hit the charts in the 80s. Like wildfires. Well, that's it for short stuff, everybody. If you wanted to know more about Beethoven, you couldn't possibly. Stuff you should know is a production of iHeartRadio.

"beethoven" Discussed on Stuff You Should Know
"Welcome to the short stuff I'm Josh and there's chuck and this is short stuff. They're pretty interesting one that comes from our Friends at how stuff works. I believe. Specifically from Robert Attenborough. Yeah, and lots of other places because I just saw this all over the news last week. The story of Beethoven's DNA has been researched and it just, I don't know, it hit the news cycle and I saw it in a bunch of places. I mean, I can understand why it's very, very fascinating, more fascinating than it appears on the surface. And the surface is Beethoven was fairly famous for suffering from a lot of terrible health maladies. For many years, late in his life until his death. Very most famously, his hearing loss, which is just fascinating that he was still able to compose with hearing loss. That's just insane. Yeah. But people, some people are very much fascinated with Beethoven, even more than other people. And one of those people is Tristan begg, who is a student of biological anthropology at UC Santa Cruz, and also an enormous Beethoven enthusiast. And he said, hey, I want to put my two things together and figure out what the heck was going on with Beethoven's body. Yeah. And now we back up a little bit and talk a little bit about DNA and the challenges of taking DNA from a dead person to figure anything out. It's not that easy. DNA from a live human is much easier to work with and sequence. But if you're trying to get good DNA from a body, you're going to want teeth, ideally, or the petrous bone in the skull, which we did not have from Beethoven. But during Beethoven's day, collecting locks from brilliant people's hair was a thing. And so by virtue of that, it turns out there were quite a few samples of Beethoven's locks around the world. And they ended up with what they thought was 8 of them. Yes. Tristan beg had 8 that he was able to access. None of them had roots, which was made the whole thing much more difficult. If you have a root, you got a much better chance of extracting a whole genome from it, right? Yeah, but plucking a whole handful of hair from Beethoven said was not allowed. Beethoven did not want that to happen. He said, sure, you can use some old timey scissors on me. Or maybe even a sharp knife and I'll sit here and let you do it. But I do not pluck my hair. So that meant that the DNA in there in this hair was composed of short, broken fragments. But Tristan begg is such a Beethoven enthusiast in such a student of biological anthropology that he said, I don't care. I'm going to piece together different fragments of DNA from these hair samples from each hair sample to create basically as close to a genetic profile as I possibly can for each of the 8 locks of hairs. And he did it. That's right. I was so trying to come up with a joke about plucking hair and what do you think I am a harpsichord player? And then I tried to think of it like maybe Bach or somebody I couldn't remember who was most notable for their harpsichord work. And then I thought maybe Beethoven had some harpsichord stuff. And I bailed. But I was just in my head that entire time. Oh, man, you missed some great stuff on me, then. All apologies. All I think of a joke that I miss the opportunity of. But at least you got to explain it. All right, so the big reveal is, is that he ended up with two locks of hair that had with DNA sampling where they were like, all right, it's western Central Europe. We got great Providence records. Going back to going back to the early 19th century. So these two, we feel really good about, we got three more that are genetically identical to those. So that's also probably Beethoven. And this is pretty good. Providence records. So we think these are for sure Beethoven's. But the other three are problematic because one is a woman. So that's somebody got probably paid way too much money for fake Beethoven locks. Yeah, for real. And then another is a little side note Beethoven would probably be mad about that because there are no side notes. Each notice is important. That's the last. Yes, I want to let the notes that I wrote. But the side note is that that lock it turns out had been previously used to conclude that Beethoven had lead poisoning and it turns out that probably wasn't even Beethoven's hair. Right. So the upshot of the whole thing is is that he had on his hands now 5 locks of hair, genetically identical to one another, two of which were basically a 100% guaranteed to be Beethoven's because they had Providence records. So he had 5 locks of Beethoven's hair to work with. So I say chuck that that is a great point

What made Beethoven sick? DNA from his hair offers clues
"Nearly 200 years after Ludwig van Beethoven's death, researchers are searching for clues about his health problems. The legendary German composer had hearing problems and severe stomach ailments, a new study says chronic drinking may have been a factor. You have to live a disease. And this seems to have developed over about the last 6 to 7 years of his life. His first inhabitants in 1821 were the tomb of the tack of jaundice quiz. Researcher Tristan baggett the University of Cambridge says they couldn't figure out what caused Beethoven's hearing loss. That seems to have had an onset in his mid to late 20s. It was a slow progressing form of hearing loss that appears to have been nerve related. Losing his hearing is believed to have limited Beethoven's creative work. He died at 56 researchers pulled genetic clues from Locke's Beethoven's hair that had been snipped off and preserved as keepsakes. I'm Ed Donahue.

Is Nancy Pelosi Guilty Of Insider Trading? Josh Hawley Weighs In
"You have recently introduced a piece of legislation to make sure we no longer have people like Nancy Pelosi, making all this money on alleged insider trading or congressional deals. I am curious, though, and perhaps you can help me understand, wasn't there a piece of legislation that was signed in the law back in 2012 called the stock act, the stop trading on congressional knowledge act. How is your Bill different? Or do we not enforce that other bill or does it not have teeth? Please, please explain it to me. Yes, so the old law Charlie just requires members of Congress to disclose when they trade stock. It does a prohibit them from owning individual stocks of the prohibit stock trading, but it says when you do it, you've got to disclose it within a certain number of days. And of course, it reiterates what's already the law for everybody, which is that insider trading is illegal. Now get this, though. Many members of Congress, including the Senate, don't comply with the stock act, Charlie. They don't even pretend to. They just don't file their disclosures. I mean, so there's no enforcement mechanism that's serious in that act. And so basically, members of Congress not only own the stock and I know not only trade this stock, they don't disclose it. And they just say, oh, screw you, basically. We're not going to do it. So here's what my bill does. My bill says, no more stock trading at all by members of Congress. In fact, no more stock ownership. If you come to Congress, you ought to be focused on doing what the people since you hear to do, not playing the stock market. So listen, if you want to save, great, you can buy mutual funds. That's what most Americans do with their savings, but you shouldn't be buying up stock and individual companies. And you shouldn't be doing what Nancy Pelosi and her family have done, which is making millions

Senator Josh Hawley Talks Foreign Policy Threats
"Let's play cut 36. Raytheon CEO says Ukraine is depleted. The weapon stocks faster than expected boy. This is a gift to the weapons manufacturers. They're going to have record profits. I'm not telling anybody what stocks to buy. But if you were to buy Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin or Raytheon, I can't imagine you'll do poorly even in a recession. Play cut 36. So as we think about all of the weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine have come out of, I would say, current inventory. We're not building any of those replenishing any of those today, although we're working on it. The fact is we are drawing down weapon stocks much faster, and I think I said this last week, we've gone through in the first ten months of the war 5 years worth of production on javelin anti tank missiles, and we've gone through 13 years worth of stinger production. So it's going to take us some time to catch up. I mean, it's great for business, obviously, for Raytheon, senator, but that's not good for our national security. No, it's terrible for our national security, but it's really terrible for us. Is our effort and our desperate need, Charlie, to deter China. If you think about our foreign policy threats here, where is our greatest foreign policy threat? It is an imperialist China that wants to dominate our supply chains that wants to shut down our ability to trade on fair terms that wants to steal our jobs and steal our technology. What are we doing to counter that? Basically nothing. And what China sees right now is the Americans are completely tied down in Europe. The Americans are spending all of this money and using all of their munitions on Ukraine in this proxy war with Russia and therefore the Chinese are concluding, they can run rampant in Asia. They can continue their efforts at imperial domination, Taiwan will be next and why do we care about any of that? Well, because it's about our security and prosperity. I mean, if you take the supply chain crunch as a problem now, wait until China invades Taiwan and shuts down our shipping lanes, wait until they kick us out of our trade routes in the Pacific, which is what they want to do.

Senator Josh Hawley Has an 'America First' Approach to Ukraine
"Senator, a lot of topics I want to touch on. Let's first talk about Ukraine. You have an America first approach to what's happening in Ukraine. And I want your opinion of what is the Washington D.C. consensus right now. The uni party seems to want to escalate what's happening in Ukraine. How should we think about what's happening in Ukraine? Well, what we should think about is the tradeoffs what it means for America and what we should be doing. First of all, Charlie is prioritizing America's national security, America's standing in the world. America's prosperity. So listen, here's how I think about Ukraine. If we could continue writing blank checks to Ukraine, which is what the establishment of both parties in Washington want to do or we can secure our own border and when it comes to overseas threats, we can do what we need to do to counter China, which is our number one foreign threat. Our number one foreign threat is not in Ukraine. Our number one foreign threat is in Asia. It's China. And right now, they're running rampant. And we're not doing anything effective to deter them. And we just can't do all of the above. So what happens here is what is happening is that the D.C. establishment says, let's just keep spending. Let's keep sending tanks. Let's send F-16s. Let's basically fight a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. And my view of that is that if we do that, that will be another forever war, we will be tying down their potentially for a generation. It'll be Afghanistan in Iraq and they should build them all over again.

"beethoven" Discussed on Max Q from Peabody LAUNCHPad
"At the time always be thinking that people are watching you. There were countless examples. When i was an undergrad of playing orchestra concert. Maybe we'll just. I'll just use this one as an example. I played in orchestras concert. I was concert master for beethoven's first symphony and it was my freshman year at peabody and there was a couple the audience that i didn't know they didn't know me and they noticed noticed my stage presence and they noticed how i carried myself and they wrote a letter to the dean about it and about me specifically when i had no idea that that was even happening and long story short. They've actually kind of become my I call them my adopted peabody grandparents. I'm going to have dinner with the later today. actually but you know it. It created this now. Six years of this amazing relationship just from them noticing. Like wow that girl. I don't know sits up really straight or. She looks like she loves what she's doing. Or and that's just one example of really being aware that people are watching you and they can really lead to a lot of great opportunities if you have that in the back of your mind. Even when you don't want to care you know on a particular day i want. I want to go back to something that you were talking about earlier. About being down to earth and seeming down to earth for particular audience for the candlelight concerts. and i'm wondering i mean this pool pool league seems like it when you some anecdotes to be able to to share into that but i'm wondering you know That reminds me a lot of the the ideas around authenticity and seeming authentic to audiences that gets bandied around a lot. But at the same time. I think that a lot of the people i see aiming at authenticity and creating something. That's similarly kind of facade. It seems like you've you figure out a way to do that. I'm curious about what your process was to kind of building building something that fell down to earth without feeling like you're putting on an act right. Yeah that's that's an interesting subject. I think look i think to a certain extent it its personality right. You can't force yourself to be to be a people person. For instance you can't force yourself to be an extrovert or an introvert I happen to believe very extroverted. And i love being around people and i love talking to people and obviously i love talking. That's not really a secret But that's part of it is figuring out like you know what is my natural personality because like you said if you try to create something that you're not it comes across as disingenuous or not authentic But i think also you know with with is a and like i said before. It's so easy for musicians to be so critical on ourselves and uh and you step back and you constantly remind yourself. Why am i doing this. Why am i playing this piece for this audience Then you kinda step out of yourself because being critical can also be very egotistical. Because you think that your work that you're bringing is so important that it has to be perfect when in reality when you step back and you put yourself in the audience's shoes of okay. Why are they at this concert. Why do they want to hear this. beethoven program. Or why do they want to hear this anime program which we plant candlelight series. It's a whole anime program and it's so much fun You know why. Why are they here. They're not here to listen to you. Play something perfectly and be glad that you played it perfectly. They're here to be to be spoken to to be reached to be touched. And i think that that when you realize that and you enjoy being a person who can bring joy to the audience no matter where they are in their lives or what went on in their day. You become a little more authentic because you get outside of yourself. You're not just focusing on me. Me me so i think that. That's that's what i think about To make sure that. I am still being an authentic performer. Authentic musician and it hard to keep in mind when you work so hard not to prepare that program but it's but it's good to step back and take that in. I'm kind of curious to. We've been talking. I feel like a lot of o- kind of things currently but going back to kind of peabody times in school. I guess. I'm i'm wondering what goals did you have like as as an undergraduate and kind of how the shift may be after you graduated in. Where are they now. Like what what has been the evolution of where you wanted things to go and Changed as time progressed. Yeah it's very funny where you know. You come into undergrad. And you think you have everything figured out and i know i did as a freshman. I thought i knew everything. I thought i was.

"APP. Where is Beethoven's Cello Sonata in a major on page 1 27 of the cellist America Daniel Silva's latest book. I've got to ask you, Daniel. I had Admiral Stavridis son last week and we're talking about your books. He's an avid fan. Of course, you probably know Jim and he and I were talking about China versus Russia. Putin versus she. His assessment and I don't quarrel with the former head of NATO is that Russia is more of a threat on cyber warfare, and China is more of a threat on influence and espionage. And I didn't actually understand that Russia was more muscular on cyber, but he you know you believe that obviously from the challenge he believes that are you ever going to tackle? Princelings of Beijing. Or is it just too late in a long career? Or because Israel is a deal with the CCP? Which makes me upset? You know what? Um The the, uh, A long series is the real world. One step removed one or two steps removed. Um and Um You know, the The truth is, is that, um The Israelis have been preparing for our departure from the Middle East for many years. Um, they are trying to stay on decent terms with Putin. And they like, uh, the Gulf countries and the rest of the region know that China is coming. China is already there. And that's uh unless we really regain our footing. Um, China is is, you know I'm going to be the the largest economy in the world very soon. And so that there is that balance. Um and they are dealing with that reality. So I I don't see. I don't see a China book in my future is that that's a short answer to the question, Right? And while I agree, I agree. Um um Um I guess I would disagree a little bit that, um I mean, Russia is the king of the information operation. That cyber pioneered it. They pioneered it. They use it against us all the time. 24 7. They are waging war on us, 24 7. Hybrid warfare. They call it Um and it was, um, motivations for it are are numerous, but part of it. It Burns in Vladimir Putin's heart is pure revenge and vengeance for the fall of the Soviet Union. He hates us we can we can try to to limit that the conflict to a few spheres. We can try to work with him where possible, But he has never, ever going to be. A reliable ally of the West. He has positioned himself with people as someone who's waging war on the West, and it's just not going to change. 100% agree that I just think that like sons who said better that your opponent not know you're at war, and I believe president she does, in fact, have the same operation with much less of a profile because he's not The Bulgarian that Putin is let me close up by asking about the virus. Okay? The virus? Sure. Yes. The pandemic is through the book and elegantly dealt with. In truth as you note in the afternoon. You try to be true. You have to bend history a little bit. How did it affect you? You're writing your family your book promote. I mean, what happened to you during the well, Let me let me add to say one thing about the book. This book was originally set largely post in a post pandemic world. When I decided after the capital speech to include the capital siege, and in the inauguration in this book, I, um had to very quickly take what I had written and back it up in time. And fit it into into the pandemic world. Um you know what I as a writer? I'm I'm fairly isolated to begin with. Um, And so, you know, I haven't been able to travel anywhere. I love to travel and write to the places that I write about. That's been very difficult. Um, it's I honestly, I just I think about the the, uh 600,000 Americans that we've lost. And I worry about the variance worry that we're about to have a resurgence. Um, but mainly, I'm worried about our country and and I think that the the virus was an accelerant. For some very dangerous trends that we've that we've got going on in this country. Um and I'm nervous. You I wish I could say that it wasn't but I'm very nervous, and I think that's that's reflected in the book. As Gabriel tells his a ballot. It's okay to be nervous. He likes people, so I will I will close by saying we. It's just a wonderful work, and it's so wonderful for silver fans on many levels, they won't be able to put it down. I don't think I gave anything away. You gave away a little bit more than I would Daniel. But my congratulate will be a number one New York Times bestseller. And and friends. I'm warning you. It will not be there. If you wait, so don't wait in a pre order and get that book delivered on the first day. Good luck.

"So alex what did you think. I'm not. I'm not here on my critic at still like the ps more than ever. I thank you so much that was that was into here. And it's just funded to see both of you from a distance. My first question was actually. When did you first play beethoven cello sonata together. And what is it right now to find your way to a new reading. The piece having played together so often. I'd like to start and then i'd like manny to continue because because i've known manny we've known each other for over forty three years. Yeah and we probably played this very early on in our And so we've been playing peace over four over forty a couple of months ago. Did you know that. There's this dedication that that i never knew about this piece. One of the things that that completely astounded me was. This is such positive beautiful open hopeful music and his patron the one he dedicated the piece to beethoven sent him the copy of the of the of the manuscript with an inscription that said amid tears and sorrel. So we were asking yourself what gives and we look up the date when he wrote this which was an eighteen hundred eighteen nine and so years when he was we realize that that's the year that napoleon invaded austria. Vogg from right outside of vienna. So imagine you're living in the city and this foreign power comes in and takes over your town and just realizing the parallel years. Beethoven who has endured so many tough right at just that moment also the personal side of. He's he's a musician. He's losing his hearing and between that what's going on around him in the city. What's going on in the country. There's this music which is hopeful. Beautiful generous noble noble. All of those things. And i thought this is a good piece for this moment because people are suffering and and we do think that music can give comfort yet does it has that quality of serenity and contentment and and joyfulness. But it's not an oblivious. Crank joy no quite right. There's a there's a very very tearful spot.

"More to support it than there is against it either way. Even though the cd could hold seventy four minutes of music there wasn't a seventy four minute version of the ninth symphony released until nineteen ninety-seven primarily. Because the tapes which were used in the studio masters. Were only seventy two minutes long and because most versions of the ninth are less than seventy four minutes. If you've never sat down and listened to the entire nine seventy i'd recommend it. It's now readily available on every music streaming service and there are several versions on youtube.

"You don't know anything about classical music you've probably heard at least parts of beethoven's ninth symphony even if you didn't know it. It's one of the most famous pieces of music in history and widely considered to be the greatest if not the greatest symphony orchestras considerate. The good china that you bring out for special occasions. They'll often play it for the opening and finale of their seasons. It's played during the olympic ceremonies. And on new year's eve it's been used as the national anthem for countries television commercials and was played when the berlin wall came down the story of the ninth symphony. And how this work came to be is one. That is highly improbable. When he was twenty six years old. Beethoven began to experience hearing loss in his letters. From that time period he had reports of ringing in his ears in eighteen. O one at the age of thirty one. It's estimated that he already lost sixty percent of his hearing at the age of forty six in eighteen. Sixteen he was already completely. Deaf was a particularly cruel affliction for a musician and a composer by the time the eighteen twenty s rolled around beethoven was already famous and successful. He had written eight anthony's one opera and many other pieces for solo and smaller groups. At this point he had already composed the vast majority of the musical works. He would write in his lifetime much of his time during his late. Forties and early fifties. We're spent dealing with family matters. Which in many respects was him sticking his nose into the affairs of his brother's nephew when it wasn't warranted in eighteen seventeen. He received a commission to compose a symphony for the philharmonic. Society of london. He basically did nothing with the symphony for five years or at least he didn't put anything to paper. One thing which beethoven had always wanted to do was to put his favorite poem to music undestroyed which is written by friedrich schiller in english. It's called the ode to joy. The joy is in german and it was written to be a him to the brotherhood of man. Even though he couldn't hear beethoven could still hear music in his head over his career he had written many smaller pieces with various themes which never left him. They were all still floating around inside of him in eighteen twenty two. He began formerly working on the composition. He knew that this was going to be the cumulation of his life's work. This was going to be his masterpiece in eighteen twenty four. He was ready for the premier while the symphony was commissioned by the philharmonic society of london. Beethoven wanted to premiere the symphony in berlin. He felt that. Vienna had become too enamored with italian composers such as rossini however. His friends managed to draft a petition which was signed by other high profile members of the viennese music community. This convinced beethoven to keep the location of the premiere in vienna. The connor tore theater was chosen as the location for the premiere it had been twelve years since beethoven was last onstage and many people wanted to see what the maestro hadn't store the performance required the largest orchestra which beethoven had ever assembled. They had both the house orchestra for the theater. The viennese musical society and many other esteem soloists in the city. Who all wanted to take part in the performance however the thing that set this symphony apart and the thing which had never been done before was the addition of acquire prior to this performance. Choir had never been used with a symphony. This may not seem like a big deal. Now but at the time it was revolutionary. And it's for this reason that the ninth symphony is often called the chorale. Legit holds at the combined orchestra rehearsed twice before the performance. The quality of the premier probably wasn't anywhere near as good as modern performances of the ninth. Beethoven insisted on being stage even though it was officially conducted by michael whom lov the problem was beethoven's inability to hear made it impossible for him to properly keep time ohio knowing. This was going to be a problem told the orchestra beforehand to ignore beethoven interest focused on himself. The house was packed. Save for the emperor's imperial box in many of the other boxes of the nobility. They had already left the city for the summer. The concert open with the viennese. Premiere of beethoven's missus alumnus which had been performed a month earlier in saint petersburg as well as his concentration of the house overture. However the real reason everyone was there was for the main event. Beethoven's ninth symphony during the symphony itself. The crowd was very loud several times. A police had to quiet people down however when it was over the crowd went nuts. There was a rousing standing ovation. However beethoven didn't know it he couldn't hear them clapping one of the vocal soloists. Carolina unger reportedly had to turn beethoven around so he could acknowledge the crowd. The crowd gave beethoven five standing ovations and for each one. They waved handkerchiefs and hats. In their hands knowing that he couldn't hear them music critics almost instantly and unanimously. Felt that this was one of beethoven's greatest works if not his greatest however there was some dissension regarding the fourth movement which was the chorale. Many of critics couldn't get their heads around a choir and an orchestra together. Whoever such complaints were minor and very short lived. The symphony went under premier in berlin london. And the rest of the world. Beethoven died without ever completing another symphony. He was working on his tenth symphony when he died but he hadn't gotten very far over time. The symphony developed a legendary status famed conductors. Such as richard wagner gustav mahler leonard bernstein and herbert von karajan all headed nine symphony as one of their favorite pieces to conduct the symphony's fourth movement. The oh joy became the national anthems for several countries. It was the national anthem. For rhodesia from nineteen seventy four thousand nine hundred seventy nine when east and west germany had a unified team at the olympics from nineteen fifty six to nineteen sixty eight. They use the oh dejoy as their anthem at medal ceremonies in one thousand. Nine seventy two. The music without lyrics was adopted as the anthem of europe. And in one thousand nine hundred five. It was adopted as the anthem for the european union. It has become a tradition for many orchestras to play. Beethoven's ninth symphony on new year's eve. The tradition has taken hold in japan where there are over fifty performances that take place every new year's eve. The peace has become known as the diko. Which is the japanese word for ninth. The tradition took hold from german prisoners of war during world war one. Who would perform it. The japanese national broadcasting company. Nhk began performing at the nineteen twenty s and through world war. Two on the radio. Some of the dike performances in japan have lotteries for people to take part in the choir. They actually pay money for a lottery ticket so they can take part in their performance and some performances have as many as ten thousand people in the choir most of the japanese performances start at eleven pm december. Thirty first so they will hit the fourth movement. Right around midnight these mega performances are often held in arenas were half of the people in. Attendance are performing after beethoven completed nine symphony. There developed something among composers known as the curse of the ninth. It's a superstition that holds that a ninth symphony will be a composer. Last schubert divorce ralph vaughan. Williams and moller all died before they could compose their tenth symphony. American composer. Philip glass actually released his tenth symphony before his ninth. Just to avoid the curse of the ninth. There are of course many composers that have written well more than nine symphonies but the superstition still exists. There's one final story but the ninth symphony which deserves addressing the role of beethoven's ninth symphony in the creation of the compact disc in the early nineteen eighties. Sony and philips had both developed digital storage formats. Which could be read by lasers however there formats had some serious differences. They came together to try to hammer out a standard that both companies could agree on the key. Point of contention was the size of the disc mainly if it should be eleven point five centimetres diameter or twelve centimeters the defining piece of music which was used to determine. The length of a cd was beethoven's ninth symphony. The longest version of the symphony. They could find was seventy four minutes. So seventy four minutes became the standard for the compact disc supposedly. It was the wife of sony ceo. A morita was a strong advocate of getting the entire ninth symphony on a single disc. I had heard the store years ago. And i also heard that. It was an urban legend however in researching the story. There's actually.

Thank you for having me. I love how you describe. We humans as being the species of little creatures living on marginal planet of peripheral star in one of billions of galaxies in the cosmos a senior in an essay that you've written about the astronomer copernicus and he's he's a revolutionary challenge that with and so us with was center of the universe. But somehow i it seems to me that we leave with these pre copernican prejudice that certainly at the level of the ego. At least we do. Yeah as a spacey's we still cast ourselves at the center of the universe. And i wonder if you think if we didn't do that if we sensed that we would just an arbitrary player on an arbitrary planets round by hundred million galaxies. Do you think we would position. Different eggo formerly yes. The fact that we are obviously irrelevant on the larger scale of the universe. It doesn't mean that we have no meaning.

You know that you have a great passion for poetry and literature and physics sees is part of all that fear sciences. It's a complex center price that requires the collaboration of different people in different kind of minds. And i have appreciated a scientist which are extremely technical. Or which have an extremely analytical. Mind that just going to details and split the the arguments over and over again find the little truck. I'm not particularly doing good and doing calculations or going into details. But i think that science also needs People who look the things from from a larger perspective and and see where the the two problems where the good directions and full. That's a nation which is not strictly scientific. I think it's it's it's so important to look into Into the great scientist of the past the many of them had an extraordinarily wide culture. So i think they were. The over specialization of modern education does all how help from the middle sized to go ahead. Let's just physics. Tolstoy in biology and medicine in In in other scientists.

If you think about it when we grew up with a M radio, there was a lot of variety and it wasn't like, well, now you're the sixties. You're the seventies.

In Case of Emergency: The Lord's Prayer
"No mention if you could go to an elite university in every class top by the finest person in that field from all of history for instance. You could study music. Beethoven have a drama class taught by shakespeare. He taught political science by thomas. Jefferson how about a philosophy class top by cs lewis. Well we would like that because experts in the field. How about this class. Unfair taught by jesus christ. That sounds good to me. I'd be in that class. Who knows more about prayer than jesus. and so. that's what we're going to look at here. The disciples came to him. They said lord we have a question. Would you teach us how to pray. Jesus gave them this prayer. I'm going to be reading from matthew six versus nine to fourteen. And i'll tell you what i want us all to do this out loud together. This the new king. James version led three together in this manner. Therefore pray our father in heaven jala would be your name your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen. But what does jesus teach us in this template for prayer. When you pray you say our father who didn't have a hollywood. Be your name your kingdom. Come your will be done unearth. It isn't even now if we wrote. The lord's prayer would probably sound like this. Our father warranted heaven. Give us this or daily bread. It's just get down to business. Here's my list. Now there's a place for petition. Nothing wrong with asking the father in heaven for what you need but notice that jesus says i take time affectively to contemplate the greatness of god now there are exceptions if you fell off a ladder and you're on your way down help we'll do okay. You can't even finish the lord. God help. But as i think about the awesomeness of god as i contemplate the greatness in bigness of god it will cause me to see my problem. Challenge need in a different light. It won't change it necessarily but it will change my perspective. I'll see it differently because listen to this. God is bigger than your problem. Whatever it is. God is bigger so my father would be name setup part beer name honored and glorified be your name. God wants us to bring our needs before him. Each and every day. God wants us to bring our needs reform. Each and every day versus eleven gives this day our daily bread. What does this mean. Well it's obvious brad. Bread was a staple of the first century diet so it includes that but bread speaks of everything it speaks of your finances. It speaks of a roof over your head. It speaks up your health just everything you need in life my daily bread and it's a reminder that everything i have in life is provided for me by god notice. It says kimmy. This team ideally bread. It doesn't say give me this month. My monthly bread or this year my yearly bread. The lord will sometimes allow things to happen in our lives. That will remind us. We need him every day. Maybe you're going through something like that right now. All of us said no you. You have this financial crisis all of a sudden you have this health scare all of a sudden you have this problem in your marriage where you have this problem with your kids or you have this other problem and it's god help that's okay. Sometimes he'll allow these things to remind us that he's the provider and we need to come to him each and every day not just asking for stuff but giving him glory for this stuff he's already given. when's the last time he just prayed. A prayer thanks our lord. Thank you for this. Thank you for providing for this. Thank you for my wife. Thank you for my husband giving them

How to move forward with China
"To fourteen point list of grievances via the australian media. Second wine joined beef. Bali timber lobster call among our exports that the chinese communist party has imposed tariffs on. And then that tweet. This is the tweet of the posting of a digitally altered of an australian soldier about to slit the throat of an afghan child. The chinese embassy issuing a bellicose statement the rage in roar of some ustralian politicians and media was misreading and reaction. It said to deflect public attention from the horrible atrocities by sickness soldiers and to blame china for the worsening of bilateral ties. So what's going on. He and asha camera respond. Jeff rabi is a former australian ambassador to the people's republic of china and he's author of china's grand strategy and australia's feature in the new global order. That's just been published and it's available in all good bookstores jeff. Welcome back to the show so some great to be back now. I your thoughts about beijing's response to australia in recent weeks so we have that list of the foreign complaints the wind terrace and of course that tweet while a say i up disappointing to see the slights that have been made After the two quite constructive comments at the triumph prime minister a last week quite clearly. The prime minister was Diplomatically signaling That there was a strong wish to start a process of getting back to some sort of more normal relationship between the two countries the product make though it sounds dramatic when you run those three things together the way you have done that certainly not the same thing. And i'm not sure that they're all necessarily coordinated. I mean the fourteen points clearly seems to be freelancing by the embassy on matters that well known and in the public record in any case at a very odd way of putting something out if you leak it to a channel nine television crew that seems to be pretty casual behavior by the embassy then the tariff spo there has been a processing trained for months on the wind tariffs and i do understand that that was the normal process and the strain companies were busily making written submissions as part of that process. And then the tweet The present time it sounds like it's been contrived by the chinese foreign ministry as individual action. it was a tweet that was particularly widely on social media by a now nationalist artist and twitter and the foreign ministry spokesperson on his private twitter account. Pinder to name and so it's philippine. Middle level action doesn't really look to millions of any of these really coordinated broad cross section of the australian people just looking at the y. People who've responded this week is there is outrage and surely win china. does things like. This doesn't make it harder for people like you because you've been an eminent company on this issue for several years now. Hugh watt a bobcar. Pass gas on this program. Of course the former prime minister paul keating. Doesn't it make it hot. A all of you to make the case that al leaders should try to rebuild trust with such a regime yet. I can understand the public outrage especially the media is going into overdrive steer and just as you have said running all these things together as a coordinated action from the state It does make it harder to get sensible constructive discussion going a story about how we deal with these things. I like to find myself in such august company as you outlined. And you might add gareth evans. Many others that to the group as well but it certainly history doesn't help and it's difficult context in which to conduct foreign policy. What we're seeing is what is like to live in the situation with china relationships In a very poor state now. Other people in camera that i see welcome this their peopling camera who have the view that bad relations with china are inevitable. This is the new normal. We should get used to it and lupus it while the questioning myself. And the august company you've being linking me with. Is this the best interest of australia. And it also basic question. Your what has australia down to bring on china's in this way why you think china is picking on again. Picking on is quite pejorative. They're not doing this to other states. Our other key point. And i would phrase that differently tom i would say how is it that astray amongst like minded friends and allies other liberal democracies in the world in the region why's at the trial has become an outlaw and i think that really needs to be part of the public discussion. Isn't the reason. The australia is so over exposed to chinese pressure in beijing. Nosy so the chinese leaders going to inflict pain on australia whenever they can't australia. And not the other like minded way boy more. In other countries we ought to forty percent of our exports to china. No other country has that kind of exposure. I prefer countries in the region. China is by far the largest trading power. I mean that exposure would be the same for korea south korea which is liberal democracy in the region. it would be near that level. For nearly all the countries in the east asian region china is the dominant economic patna of all of the countries in the region and that is just a fact at its reflects. The extent to which china has grown as the dominant economic power in east asia. Alexander downer. The former. Foreign minister says that now's the time to reduce our exposure to china. But what everyone is saying. There's nothing new novel in that. And obviously when people start to realize that we are going to have for a long time a difficult and challenging relationship with china's manage. That's a fairly obvious. Point to make interesting from In addition to being former minister former director of the board of while clay. And very active Proponent in boosting. Australia china trade relations phrase time as soon as minister and i work very closely with him in that and i think we achieved a lot. So why wouldn't you wanna diversify every sensible business. Every sensible company diversifies the port made over and over again on this aspect is that it's going to be very hard. Because of the absolute scale and growth and prosperity of china. You are a foreign policy realist. All gripe house ruthless and that includes chana hardball at every turn and the stronger. China gets the more likely to throw its wide around now to the extent. These realist analysis is correct. How on earth do we solve. this problem. absolutely correct agree with all those points. Another point that needs to be made. And you don't make it much tom. And your pride yourself as being a realist and that is the relationship is asymmetrical that is effect. We need china. More than china needs us. This is not a comfortable place for us to be but it's a place we are. It's a place where we're stack and will remain and so We need to work out how to manage that relationship and we haven't done a particularly good job of a judging by the state rewritten today. So although you express yourself in a different way you essentially gray with the foreign policy realists professor join me shauna regular guest on this program and he argues that his china's power increases its definition of its national interests will grow and then beijing will seek a survey influence in areas on which its future security and prosperity dependent in response. The us will go to great lengths to stop china's rises. It essentially. your argument is well up a poet. I'm a great Admire of joint mish as well. I differ with him on a couple of points but his analysis and arguments have been hugely influential in helping me shape my thinking about these But i put on sphere of influence is. I think that's already happened. I think china is the dominant paranagua this at length in my book in eurasia from the east china sea to also china is the dominant parent. That's happened largely because sanctions against russia poor economic performance by russia Pushback from from europe against russia has meant that brushes had to cede to china's ascendancy in eurasia and so very part of the world. And i think we now live in a world of michigan talks about a world of two great powers with boundary orders and in the question then becomes is some equilibrium at stable between the two. And i believe there is.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Janissary Music
"I'm Naomi Moon Welcome to classics for. Kids. Let's start this show off with a bang. You. Know how? When a certain kind of music catches on whether it's rap or jazz or Latino suddenly you hear it all over well, all over Europe in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries you would have heard Turkish flavored music like this marked by Ludwik von Beethoven. A very reasonable question would be if Beethoven was German, what was he doing writing Turkish music? The Sultan who ruled Turkey used to have a very select group of guards called Jan Aseries, actually, jams areas, what the Turkish term for new army sounded like to European ears like most armies. The Janice series had a band and since this was a Turkish army, the Janice every band used Turkish instruments like bass drums, triangles, and cymbals when the Sultan of Turkey since January, bands to Europe people went nuts over the exotic sound of those instruments hey, couldn't get enough of Turkish. Music. European composers knowing what their audiences wanted to hear started writing. Turkish. Sounding pieces and even set some of those pieces in Turkey This is the overture to Mozart's opera the abduction from the Seraglio. Seraglio. Was the Turkish Sultan's palace a palace which he kept US sizable Harem of wives. Plural. Very poor. Mozart wasn't the only composer to set an opera in Turkey German composer. Carl Maria. Von Vaber did to and he even gave his opera a Turkish name. Abu Hassan. And Turkish sounds crept into orchestra music too. For Instance Haydn's symphony number one. Kendrick. Since people associated the sound of drums, triangles and cymbals with Turkish army bands that Haydn symphony came to be known as the Military Symphony. The best symbols in the world are still made by the same family that made them in Haydn's day the Zil jains, the name zillion is Turkish for symbol maker a Turkish Sultan gave it to the first symbol maker in the family almost four centuries ago today zillions live in Massachusetts where they make the symbols you here in rock bands and symphony orchestras. That's from Wellington's victory by Beethoven. After. The FAD for January music died down the cymbals bass drums and triangles didn't go back to Turkey those instruments. Oh, their place in today's orchestras and bands to the eighteenth century European craze for Turkish music of all the composer's latched onto the sound of the January band I think Beethoven did it best? My favorite bit of January music is tucked into the middle of the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. That Sound is a controversy soon, the lowest pitched woodwind instrument there is it's acting almost like a bass drum. Back when January music was popular, you could buy a piano equipped with a special. January pedal by thumping down on it, you could accompany yourself with your own personal triangle and drums percussion section. Unfortunately today, those pianos are only found in museums when both amodio Mozart composed his Turkish Rondo he managed to get the piano to imitate Janice drums even without a special pedal. That's Mozart's Turkish Rondo. Now that you know about the Turkish part to find out what a Rondo is, join me next time for classics for kids.

"Hello I'm. Naomi. lewin welcome to classics for kids. For some reason, maybe because he was such a genius, Beethoven seemed to be the butt of jokes than any other composer. Not all the jokes have to do with music but some. Your parents and grandparents probably know the song roll over Beethoven. Chuck, Berry originally made it popular back in the nineteen fifties this version by electric light orchestra even quotes Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. That's not the only popular song to use Beethoven's fifth. A disco hit from the seventies is even named for a fifth of Beethoven. It's no joke than in World War Two. Beethoven's fifth took on a whole new meaning back. Then important messages were still sent by Telegraph using Morse Code and dictate the DOT is Morse code for the letter. V. After British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared a campaign called V for victory. Of The BBC British public radio started playing the first four notes of Beethoven's fifth before all news bulletins. A. Beethoven. Never married but after he died someone found a very passionate letter, he had addressed to my immortal beloved. No one knows who the immortal beloved might have been but turns up in. Beethoven joke that takes the fifth. The joke goes that the immortal beloved was threatening to leave Beethoven because he didn't pay enough attention to her Beethoven said, that's ridiculous. You are everything to me. You're my life you're my inspiration and she looked at him and said me. Everything your life your inspiration ha ha. and. Then there's the joke about a man who's wandering through a cemetery in Europe and stumbles on Beethoven's grave. He's very surprised to see Beethoven sitting up in his coffin furiously erasing his music. So he asks excuse me Mr Beethoven what on Earth Are you doing and Beethoven snaps back can't you see? I'm decomposing. Bits of Beethoven also turn up in amusing ways in movies, and that's not even counting the movie about the dog named Beethoven and the sequels Beethoven's second and Beethoven's third. The Beatles one of the most famous rock bands ever made a movie called help that uses Beethoven's music. When the Drummer Ringo gets trapped by a snarling tiger from a German zoo, his friends tell him. Off To do is famous Van Hoven famous. Got Up on talk. and Beethoven puts him appearances in musical theater to. All through the music man, the phony professor Harold Hill claims he could teach kids to play musical instruments using the think method. The PC wants them to think is Beethoven's MINUET IN G lie down. A. Live. My favorite use of Beethoven in musical theater comes from you're a good man Charlie Brown based on characters from the peanuts comicstrip. One of them is the piano playing Schroeder who idolizes Beethoven as Schroeder plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Lucy tries desperately to get his attention, but you can tell it's not going to work. I'm sure Beethoven would be amazed at all the places he's popped up.
