“Let us begin breakfast
With a little known piece
By Beethoven”
The announcer said.
This made me laugh,
As from the radio
There came this sound,
The sound so very well known,
The sound of Fur Elise.
Anyone who has touched a piano
Would have tried this piece.
The wonderful tune ended
And the announcer said with a grin
“Well it was new on me”
And I burst out laughing
A brilliant start to my day.

Cornflakes with Beethoven?!
Good write Gold.
Porridge, not Cornflakes Orchi.
Thank you.

Funny how classics in any genre are unknown to younger generations. It makes me wonder what I have missed and I spend hours reviewing older as well as newer music. Good write Gold
Thank you soren, I have been listening to music, mainly classical and jazz for over seventy years and even I am often surprised at a piece I had never heard before. As I say to people:
"So much music, so little time"

Here I sit 7:30 am coffee in hand listening to this beautiful piece.
Nice!
