Alan Moss, about the march in Beethoven's Ninth:
>The late Sir Charles Groves once told me that in that march he could
>already hear the tramp of Nazi jackboots and hear the cry of "Sieg, heil!",
>and I'm afraid that since then I have never been able to hear that music
>in any other way.
Do you mean "Froh, wie seine sonnen fliegen..."?. Well, till some years
ago I could hear in it the Smurfs coming from the forest with their little
bags full of strawberries. But I'm recovered now.
