Beethovenโ€™s tuning fork! The note A is @ 455.4Hz, higher, brighter sounding than the standard 423.5Hz used in the 19th century. Tuning to 440 was adopted in 1939. The fork went to George Bridgetower who premiered the Kreutzer sonata. Later donated to the British Library in 1990.

๐Ÿ’› Today would have been Seiji Ozawa's 89th birthday. On his 80th birthday Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker recorded and sent this greeting to him, which has never been published, but which we would like to share with you today.

People are shocked to learn that there are open gates in the #BorderWall all across Arizona, sometimes multiple places per mile, everywhere the wall crosses a drainage or wash. No migrants. No Border Patrol. Just water flowing through the desert. The wall is a political prop.
