@noplasticshower@infosec.exchange I love the part in the coda of the 1st mvt when he modulates Eb-Db-C. One of my favorite moments in Beethoven.

@noplasticshower@infosec.exchange Funny story from George Tsontakis about when he was studying with Roger Sessions. They were doing week after week on the Eroica in master class. George was resp for bringing in recordings on tape. As a gag, he spliced in an extra Eb chord in the opening, so it had 3 instead of 2. But Sessions didn't notice! George had to make an excuse about something wrong with the tape and needed to change it; it didn't have the rest of the mvt and he didn't want to embarrass Sessions.
