Update: Screening of my film in Cooperstown tomorrow (May 18)

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?

Ha, you are correct on the string quartets....

But Beethoven was indeed a true "slugger." Also, quite "crafty." But ended up like Curtis Pride--could not hear but still could track the ball.

Just changed heading to reflect screening it tomorrow...Having lunch with mayor and getting tour of the Hall...selling books and DVDs, money to the food pantry....

Looks like Bob Hope from one of the "Road' movies.
