ludwig von beethoven – Moe Lane

‘Fur Elise.’

Deep breathing, Moe. Practice your deep breathing.

Fur Elise, Ludwig von Beethoven

…No, we shall be merciful.

I made the ‘mistake’ of listening to Ludwig Von Beethoven today, and while I agree with Vladimir Lenin on pretty much nothing else I agree with him on this; Beethoven’s music makes me wish to treat people gently. And so I shall… for this post, at least.

Japan rocks the Ludwig Van.

You see, this is what I like about the Japanese: when it comes to cultural stuff, they have two favorite settings. Off, and eleven.

This is them cranking Ode To Joy up to eleven. Crank it up, and budget some time.

PS: How the Hell did Schiller and Beethoven manage to make German sound lyrical, anyway?

I like ending the day with these.

Moonlight Sonata, Ludwig von Beethoven
