“Happy #FunkyFriday Yesterday was the anniversary of Beethoven's death. He would have been 188 years old. He would fit right in playing the piano with the stones if you know what I mean and I think you do. From Wikipedia- Beethoven's last recorded words were "Pity, pity—too late!", as the dying composer was told of a gift of twelve bottles of wine from his publisher. One common belief was that his last words were "Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est" ("Applaud, my friends, the comedy is over"), the typical conclusion to performances of Italian Commedia dell'arte; this was specifically denied by Hüttenbrenner in 1860. Some sources have listed his last words as, "I shall hear in heaven"”
