"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Beethoven.

On this day in 1802, Beethoven published the "Moonlight" Sonata. He was never happy about the sonata's popularity. He said, "Surely I've written better things."

He did. Here it is ...

Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, "Emperor"



... and the String Quartet Op. 18 No. 6
