Some very pretty pieces today, and once again the composer is Beethoven. Why you ask: is it could because I really really like his work; or perhaps because his works are recorded most often; or it could just be because it's all I have left until I get the mother load of records on Friday. Right now I plan on receiving 13 boxes of records, which conservative count would be around 750 records. Then I get the fun of opening all of them; that's right, it's going to be Christmas in September.
Anyway on to today's listening.
