Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 14, 2012

Beethoven. It’s like Snoopy, unlike a St. Bernard musician

CB knows all about a terrible feeling of having a need of having the feeing…

Smetana’s “Moldau”, Charlie. “Moldau.”

“Even the most miserable ninny who has absolute nothing to be proud of in live will take at last his nationality to be proud of.” – SchopenhauerWe believe in you, Charly Brown.

I’ll go home for a little Jack Daniels fifth.

Actually, Charles Schulz said in interviews that HIS favorite composer was Brahms, but that he made Schroeder a Beethoven zealot because it was a funnier name.

The mega-downer ending of Brahms’ 4th is definitely not the music to listen to when you want to feel glad to be alive. Except in comparison, perhaps. I heartily recommend the 2nd for that purpose.

“A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything”?#Is the opposite true, “A man who stands for anything will fall for nothing”?

What’s up with circles around Schroeder’s head in the last panel?

Love Schroeder’s confusion in the 4th Panel.

LOL xxx

same thing with red and ash

Carlos Kleiber’s recording with the Vienna Philharmonic of Brahms’ 4th is life affirming. Their Beethoven’s 7th isn’t too shabby either.

In some ways, Brahms took over where Beethoven left off. I used to jokingly call Brahms First Symphony Beethoven’s Tenth. It’s still hard to decide whether Brahms Fourth or his First is my favorite.

I get this way with Mozart’s Requiem and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, movement 1. Also Richard Einhorn’s oratorio Voices of Light.

I listen to folk rock music and just general folk music. It helps me stayed focused on life, God, love, and humor.

Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns for me.

Couldn’t said it better myself Charlie Brown

Schulz likes words with “B” and also likes to have his characters use those word conundrums.
