4. SYMPHONY: If you start typing "Beethoven" in a search bar, no doubt his "5th Symphony" will pop up. This week (22 December) is the 208th anniversary of the world premier of this most famous piece of music.  Do you remember Disney's Fantasia 2000 interpretation of the piece?  Clouds make quite the appearance.
