Deceptively simple. Even old Beethoven, himself, gave up trying to play them.

Any opinions?

...but the question is why did he give up on them? Were they:

(a) too difficult

(b) too easy (L v B didn't feel challenged)

(c) sounded awful (so why should L v. B even bother, considering he had a set of 32 of his own, most of which are pretty darned good...)

(d) perhaps he couldn't hear, and missed the whole point of them anyway...

I think we should be told...
