    I had no idea you are that old.

    Peace

    How old does one have to be to appreciate classical music? You aren't engaging in the age-old, time-honored, anti-PC stereotyping via age descrimination, are you friend Bernd??
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Not at all. No discrimination from these shores on anything
    Just when Kex put that the 5th and the 7th sounded as it was intended I thought he had touched base with Ludwig von way back when.........
    My wife constantly shakes her head at my music selection. She is a through and through musical and stage fan. Can't stand the stuff. But live and let live.

    Peace

    I know I know.
    Just to divert slightly. When I went home to Berlin over Easter it was the first time in a long while I spent some time with my second youngest nephew. He is 14 years old and goes to a school for musically gifted children, but the weird thing is he dresses and looks like a Punk from the 70s yet is consummed by classical music (and heavy stuff at that) and that is what he listened to. Most unsettling when you see it.

    Peace

    Kinda know how you mean, unsettling. I remember when first I walked down the hall at IBM's TJ Watson Research Center and saw a guy in cut off jeans, a tie died t-shirt, long unwashed hair & beard. I turned to my new coworkers and asked why we were in suits & ties while he dresses like a hippy. Their reply: "He won a nobel prize. He wears what he wants."

    Huh?!

    ...I think that was a joke...Bernd didn't know Kex and Ludwig were contemporaries...How would Kex know Beethoven's intentions..Oh...never mind...
