How to learn about music

 So the other day we were going someplace, and Susan, who abhors silence while moving,  had the car radio blasting.  It was great music, a Beethoven symphony, the one that has a section that goes dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada,  up and down. I was trying to think, so I asked her to turn it off. 

I am reminded of a famous appraisal of Austrians, who are so clever they convinced the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German. 

Then today I took a nap, and Susan turned on the classical TV station after I fell asleep. About an hour later I was awakened by dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada. I let out a cry that I was being victimized by Beethoven, but Susan pointed out that this symphony was by Ferdinand Ries, the son of Beethoven's music teacher. 

Someone somewhere is cheating.
