Beethoven sometimes

on rare occasions (less so, lately) I reach back to high school times and listen to Beethoven Piano Sonata’s no. 8 and 23 (pathetique in c minor and the f minor one that then goes to F# Major, in both the first and 3d movements.)
I listen to some of the fully diminished 7 chords and go apeshit.
I use those moments to teach young people about the awesomeness that are fully diminished 7 chords ooh yeahhhh

( I like and have the Rudolph Serkin version, but there’s no video of it, alas)
