I am using it as my "wallpaper". 
Excellent portrait Bill. I love Ludwig van Beethoven music my Maree has a small copy of a painting of him as boy hanging on our wall. The last decade of his life he was almost completely deaf Though deaf some of his.most admired works come from the last years of his life. Now if I could get a thousand Deaf Beethoven's in a room to listen to my music there would be hope for me. Most probably they would need a conductor or someone using sign language on stage to tell them when to clap. I wouldn't produce a music chart for my thousand Beethoven's as it might ruin my chance of success.
So...... he's looking at you and you're obviously interrupting him. What's he saying to you? (caption)
MY caption: ""Schweinhund! I told you I would have ze rent for you when the Prince pays me! Now get out before I throw the chamber pot at you!!"

Dear Pete
In the films "Immortal Beloved" and "Copying Beethoven" there is a scene which will break your heart to watch. It shows Beethoven leaning down his head almost to the
keyboard just to hear what little of the notes he can. If you have not seen these, I highly recommend you find them/rent them if you can.

Here's another "view of Beethoven" by the clever Peter Schickele (a.k.a. P.D.Q. Bach), where he's viewing Beethoven's 5th as a sports event, with the orchestra hamming it up a bit, a referee supervising, slow mo replays, penalties called, and play-by-play coverage:
At first I thought it was serious. It was so funny and they did a great job to keep it funny. Good find.
