Walking down the streets on a full moon night, a day before the scheduled concert, Beethoven heard someone playing the piano?- the person was playing one of Beethoven's compositions... and murdering it!</p> <P><BR />Unable to stand the massacre of his beloved piece, Beethoven rang the doorbell, introduced himself and offered to teach the pianist (a young girl in this case) how to play the song properly. The girl was naturally thrilled out of her senses.</p> <P><BR />After teaching her the piece, Beethoven sat for a while at the piano in a thoughtful mood, playing around with the keys. The light of moon coming through the windows and falling on the keys of the piano created a breathtaking effect. Inspired by the sheer beauty of this imagery, Beethoven began composing a piano solo.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6E4CE54B-F5DF-465E-8620-4201D4213F35/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
