Beethoven’s birthday is Dec. 16, one week from today.Now I will listen to Beethoven’s “Sonata no. 8 Pathetique – 2nd Movement in A flat major” in honor of all these ‘stinky puns’, or is it sticky buns?

Don’t think they’re talking about either Beethoven OR Mozart. Mozart was indeed a child prodigy but his first symphony was written in 1764 when he was eight years old, not four. He WAS composing from the age of five, but not symphonies.

Some play the piano better and others toil and try it for a life long……..

Any 4 year old can write a symphony. Getting some one to appreciate it , is the hard part.

It wouldn’t happen to be Beathoven’s Birthday today, would it? I guess I’ll find out @ Peanuts when I get there.

The look on his face in the last panel suggests he may NOT be toilet trained at 6. I’m not sure if it’s confusion or shame.

toilet trained at 4. I’m sure mom loved that.

Amazing composers!

Hope he does not toilet train himself by sitting on the record by mistake. Records are not used much anymore.

“I thought Beethoven was dead.”
He is-but he’s still decomposing!

@ JP Steve
Thank you for the information about Terry yesterday. There’s also no need to be apologise, I’m just stuck in my own world.
LOL.

Calvin, your toilet training was a moving experience with an appreciative audience (Mom). Which movement did you compose first?

This isn’t about his birthday, just his bio.

Maybe they’re listening to Meowzart… In human years, he would’ve been playing piano at 21, and composing at 28!

Calvin, nevertheless, went on to become a toilet virtuoso.
