And just as an aside, i get to play symphonies 1, 2, 5,7,8,9 plus Coriolan Overture, 4th Piano Concerto, and the Mass In C this spring and summer.

Beethoven should have more such birthdays. 😁.

And just as icing on the cake,, Berlioz Symphony Fantastique, Tchaikovsky 5 and 6 and Mahler 2 and 3.

Retirement couldn't be better.

😍
