PEANUTS © United Feature Syndicate, Inc.The Charles M. Schulz Museum and The Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies are jazzed to announce the launching of a great new web exhibit titled "Schulz's Beethoven, Schroeder's Muse." The exhibit explores the genius of Beethoven and the creative brilliance of Charles Schulz's cartoons through the eyes, fingers, actions, and playing of Schroeder, one of the greatest fans in the history of Beethovendom.
The beta version of the website went up on what most scholars think was Beethoven's birthday, December 16th (at least that is the day he celebrated it during his lifetime, even though he was baptized the next day).
We've almost completed the revisions for the next version, which we hope to launch later this week.
The address is:

P.S. Schulz didn't identify the composer or the piece and left out the key signature. Can you figure out what it is? The web exhibit explores his creative uses of Beethoven's music over the 50 years of the strip. This strip is from November 20, 1997, and is a great example of how Schulz experimented with music notation in the 1990s.
P.P.S: Some of the blog postings here will be coming from other people associated with the exhibit, so keep your eyes open. We'll always sign them so you know who is writing.
