First, congratulations for your accomplishments and honors.
As a classically trained violinist, I spent several years performing in a symphony orchestra before turning to teaching. Anyway, the stats on the card caught my eye. Beethoven is erroneously credited with seventeen string quartets.
Der Grosse Fugue, originally published as part of the Opus 130, is now most often performed separately. But it is a single movement, and as such is not counted as a string quartet. Unless Ludvig comes back for another season, his career total will stay at sixteen.
So, I guess that makes it an error card?
