I only have time for a quickie today.
Last night, I attended a performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, which some consider to be perhaps the finest piece of music in the Western tradition.
But did you know that, in 1980, the size and shape of the compact disc was chosen so that a single disc could contain an entire 74-minute performance of the Ninth Symphony?
Aren’t you glad you read this blog religiously?
And what are we supposed to do with all these CD’s and nothing to play them on?
