Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 14, 2020

can’t upbeat Ludwig

Poor Violet got blindsided!

I still remember that nursery rhyme. sheesh!

Hickory dickory dock

Three mice ran up the clock

The clock struck one

The other two escaped with minor injuries

We now have Facebook to achieve the same feelings.

Anyone besides me to and listen to the Quartet #4?

Kiddie Rekords. A fine label.

Both are fun.

What’s she have there? If she knew she could claim something older (to be honest I was curious just how far back Three Blind Mice went and didn’t know until now myself). One of the earliest versions of Three Blind Mice is a hundred ninety years older than Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 4 in C minor. 1609 vs 1799. Although the version she she’s got is more likely based more off the nursery rhyme than the original round, which would put it well after his death.

Of course she could still impress him with Joseph Holbrook’s Three Blind Mice, Symphonic variations on an old Enlish air, Op.37 (which was done in 1900) or Hayden’s Symphony 83. But we all know that’s unlikely. Not that Schroeder wouldn’t be impressed, though he’s principally a Beethoven fan, he does listen and play other composers. Rather, most of the kids aren’t as likely to listen to classical music (unless on the radio) as he is.

You shouldn’t ashamed. That’s a classic nursery rhyme. Beethoven likely sang it as a child. Or his nanny did.
