Gotta admit, I didn't know Beethoven wrote boogie-woogie (not ai, promise!)

1. I knew before I opened the thread which piece you were referring to.

When I was in college, a good friend played this sonata, #32, Op. 111, Beethoven's last one, at his senior recital. Most of his later music is very strange for the time (he was deaf by then, so other people's music could no longer bother him); the last string quartets are especially weird. I remember my friend practicing this for a long time; it's quite difficult - but Beethoven wouldn't have cared.

2. LOTS of such stuff, and there's also MOZART!

Mozart - Rondo Alla Turca (Turkish March)

5. I used to be able to play this...

Not so much any more. *sigh*

9. Many years ago, there was a delightful ad for some food item...

…that was backed by Rondo Alla Turca. I can’t remember what food it was, but part of the lyrics were “…have a little (whatever it was) in your life.”

The ad was a clever and entertaining as the one for raisins set to Heard It On The Grapevine.

I’ve tried many times to look this up, to no avail.

Thanks!
