Thanks for listing Susan McClaru's comments on Beethoven's Symphony #9.
I found the first version scary and the second version stupid.

I found both versions stupid. How would she know what a symphony made by a rapist sounds like? I think she was just fantasizing(menopause anyone)

Your trying to inject common sense into this discussion? There is a pretty long-standing tendency to read programmatic content into Beethoven's works. Certain feminists see rape in everything. Great screen-handle. Thanks for stopping by.
