A week from today (December 16) is Beethoven's birthday. As pointed out by Lucy in this classic strip, we don't really know this. What we do know is that Beethoven was baptized on the 17th of December, and Catholic children were traditionally baptized on the day following birth.
The Peanuts has a online museum dedicated to Schultz and — by proxy — Schroder's love of classical music in general and Beethoven in particular; including clips of the music played in the comic strips.
