They found a new Beethoven Sonata in Bonn!
Beethoven's piano sonatas are legendary, so it's pretty big news that THEY FOUND ANOTHER ONE that has been hidden away since 1792 in Bonn, Germany. Whoa. So much for all of those "complete" collections of Beethoven sonatas that we have on CDs and in music books. It feels sort of like when they decided Pluto was no longer a planet. There are a few other Beethoven sonatas that have not been included in the "official" 32. It will be interesting to see what happens with this one.

The Outcast Sonata. It should be a movie.
