Beethoven and the way he wrote music
-
31-07-2008 9:44am#1When Beethoven was beginning to make a name for himself the King of Spain heard his music and wept with joy, and then demanded to meet the composer immeditately in person!
When Beethoven arrived at the King's court the monarch said to him: 'O mighty Beethoven, your music truly moves me. However I've heard that you can only write your wonderful music on paper when lying down! Pray tell me, why is this so?'
'Well m'lord' replied Beethoven, 'it's quite simple, I write my music lying down as I can only Cflat'
Eh, thought you folks might appreciate this or maybe not!

I heard an enharmonically equivalent version of this:'Well m'lord' replied Beethoven, 'it's quite simple, I write my music lying down as I can only Cflat'
When Beethoven arrived at the King's court the monarch said to him: 'O mighty Beethoven, your music truly moves me. However I've heard that you can only write your wonderful music when you are not wearing any clothes! Pray tell me, why is this so?'
'Well m'lord' replied Beethoven, 'it's quite simple, I write my music naked as I can only B natural.'
