Featured review
Ludwig NEVER called his "Moonlight Sonata" . . .
. . . "My greatest composition," as the misinformation specialists foisting off Peabody's Implausible History depict in Beethoven's namesake episode. When pressed for a favorite, Beethoven most often cited his Seventh Symphony, particularly the second movement in A Minor. Written as a frontal assault upon the compulsive liar and killer Napoleon, Symphony Number Seven premiered as a fundraiser for those grievously wounded on Bonaparte's killing fields. Napoleon held the title of the most hated demonic pretender of all time, a designation later wrested away by Adolf H. And still later by Don the Tramp. As for the Moonlight Sonata, Ludwig referred to this piano piece as "dinner music."
