For me, as a music lover…and I listen, explore and mostly enjoy all kinds of music…Ludwig van Beethoven is the ultimate composer, next to Lennon & McCartney, Jagger/Richards and Mozart. And now I have noticed that his name has changed. I have been listening to Beethoven’s music since I entered High School. I even went to a presentation of “Fidelio” his one and only opera! And I recall his name as Ludwig von Beethoven, (Is this a Mandela effect*?). Do you remember his name as “van” or “von”?
Anyway today I was listening to the soundtrack of Peaky Blinders…a fabulous series…and I noticed that they had included Beethoven’s 7th symphony, composed between 1811/12, and I realised that I had not featured music for a while, so I thought I would share it. It is a phenomenal symphony and apparently lends itself to movie/series soundtracks.
What do you think?

Yo, amante de la música, y te aseguro que lo escucho, exploro y disfruto todo tipo de música, Ludwig van Beethoven es mi preferido y lo coloco en la cima junto a Lennon & McCartney, Jagger/Richards y Mozart. Pero, jolines, me acabo de dar cuenta de que su nombre ya no es el mismo, mare meua, ha cambiado. He estado escuchando la música de Beethoven desde que entré al instituto, e incluso fui a ver una presentación de «Fidelio», su única ópera cuando apenas era un culicagao (si, aprendí esta palabra en Miami y significa un chavalillo), y recuerdo que su nombre era Ludwig von Beethoven, no van. (¿Es esto un efecto Mandela*?). Y tu, ¿Recuerdas su nombre como «van» o «von»?
De todos modos, hoy estaba escuchando la banda sonora de Peaky Blinders… una serie de puta madre…y noté que habían incluido la séptima sinfonía de Beethoven, compuesta entre 1811/12, y me di cuenta de que no había presentado música desde hace tiempo, así que pensé que la compartiría. Es una sinfonía fenomenal y al parecer se presta para bandas sonoras de películas/series.
¿Qué opinas?

* A Mandela effect is a memory that many people throughout the world have of a thing, a name or an event in history which now has changed. It got the name because apparently many people, world wide, thought Nelson Mandela had died in a South African prison during the 1980’s but as it turned out they discovered he did not. He died in 2013 after having been president of his country.

El efecto Mandela se refiere a un recuerdo que muchas personas en todo el mundo tienen de algo, un nombre o un evento en la historia que ahora ha cambiado. Recibió el nombre porque aparentemente mucha gente en todo el mundo pensó que Nelson Mandela había muerto en una cárcel sudafricana durante la década de 1980, pero resultó que descubrieron que la historia no fue así,. Mandela murió en 2013 después de haber sido presidente de su país.
GRACIAS – CHEERS
It’s cool to come across your post after just listening to the Mozart effect channel on Pandora. I like listening to a variety of music and classical is on the list. Nice post 😎

Thank you so much Julie! Me too I like and listen to all kinds of music, and with the exception of the really bad ones, I like them all. 🙃

I am surprised by the number of «Classic» pieces used in movies and television. Remember Dismal Studios back when Dismal was Disney? Never bothered them (or the likes of Looney Tunes to incorporate the masters. Then, I think, of the number of «rockers» who’ve scored works for television and movies. For example Mark Knopfler. Music, like art, speaks to the soul and others beyond the old «Masters» are masters at their craft.

You’ve said it perfectly. In a series like Peaky Blinders there was rock, classic, indie, traditional Irish and more. All mixed in. That’s the magic of music. All the best mate.
