Today is the generally accepted date of Beethoven's birthday, given that we have record of him being baptized on the 17 of December. Of course December is when we celebrate the birthday of Jesus, but I think it's always good to spare a thought for all the other people that were born this month. It must be difficult having your birthday overshadowed by one of the most famous people ever, and one of the most widely celebrated holidays ever.

Also, feel free to celebrate along with Schroeder by listening to the Beethoven sonata he mentioned.
