Beethoven’s final symphony, composed when he was deaf and very ill (1822-24), has become a New Year’s tradition. The symphony is 65 minutes long, nearly twice that of a typical symphony written during that time. To the vigorous musical score, Beethoven [...]
The repair and clean up from last week’s Seattle windstorm continues.
