Whisky Van Gogh Go

Terribly Important, Terribly Insightful, Terribly
Influential, Terribly

Schroeder was the Beethoven-obsessed music nerd who pounded on his piano. But, the notes floating above his head were no random ink spots. Charles Schulz carefully chose each snatch of music he drew and transcribed the notes from the score… In a strip from 1953 Schroeder embarks on an intensive workout. In the last two panels he walks to his piano and begins playing furiously. The eighth notes above Schroeder’s head are from the opening bars of Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” Sonata (Op. 106), a piece so long, artistically complex and technically difficult that it is referred to as the “Giant” Sonata.
