Really odd thing that sticks with me

Many years ago, I knew the members of a young professional string quartet for most of the 15 years of its existence. After one of its final concerts, I was chatting with a member and he asked if I could suggest a short, festive piece they could play for an occasion they had agreed to take part in. I suggested the alternative finale to Beethoven's B-flat quartet, Opus 130 -- the one that replaced the Grosse Fuge. He looked at me and said "We don't know it. We've never played it." Although I admire their decision always to play Opus 130 with the fugue finale, I was nevertheless flabbergasted that here was a respected professional ensemble that called itself a string quartet, but had never even played through an entire complete late quartet movement by Beethoven! I still am. Tags: free ringtones, message ringtones, country ringtones
