Subj: Re: Beethoven's heritage

Certainly, Leo, the dates of Beethoven's birth and his heritage are not
going to change whether you pick up an almanac, encyclopedia, or a
Beethovean scholar's P.h.D. thesis. I would agree that if I were doing
an in depth analysis of Eroica and how the times of Beethoven and his
admiration for Napolean affected the structure of the piece Microsoft
would be a foolish place to look. But for basic facts I think it's
ridiculous to nitpick...
