So I was just listening to and analyzing Beethoven's 7th Symphony while looking along with my part (flute) and was thinking about how ridiculously far ahead of his time he was. For example, the offstage trumpet stuff in his Leonore Overtures. Anyways, there's this flute solo in the first movement with crazy grace notes and I was thinking about how instruments of that time period played that kind of stuff. I suppose we play things faster now, but it's still interesting.

There's not many people on here yet, but I was going to post this in one of my own LiveJournal entries and then just figured I'd post it here. :D
