#December 17, 1770
#OTD Ludwig Van Beethoven, #German #Composer & #Pianist, is #Baptized.

Beethoven loved #Nature. His 6th #Symphony is subtitled #Pastoral.
Each #Movement reflects a #Day in the #Country.
He #Wrote that he wanted the #Music to have an #Effect on the #Soul.

He once told a #Friend,

"[This is where] I composed the #Scene by the #Brook.
[#Pointing to the #Trees], The #Yellowhammers up there -
and the #Quails, #Nightingales & #Cuckoos - composed with me."
