Not really - is it worth signing in to YT to listen?
The first movement of the 7th symphony and the moonlight sonata were on the playlist but i tend to tune out Anne-Marie Minhall of an afternoon when i'm busy.

It's called Helpless Woman and was my clumsy attempt to link to your need for assistance when wallpapering, while certain the Beethoven link would garner a hearty chuckle....
I'll get my coat....
Bobbin' along, thingin' a thong this fine day...
Vive La France!
Does your pet freak out when Bonfire Night comes around with a Bang!?
Fret not; Classic fm online radio is here to help - just tune in from 5pm tonight and they'll have a wide selection of 'Pet Classics' to soothe your furry friends while the mayhem happens elsewhere...was tempted to post 'The Cat's Chorus' but maybe something you'll enjoy together would pass the time.
This animation of Peter and the Wolf is a choice version which won the 2008 oscar for best animated short film. (music kicks in at 6.55.)

Well, Americans like to 'leave no man behind', but we Brits like to think "..there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England."
They are not forgotten.
Happy birthday, Ludwig: two hundred and fifty four years young and still sounding as good as ever.
The first public performance of the Third Symphony took place on April 7, 1805 and was conducted by Beethoven himself. Because of the epithet ‘Eroica’ (the Heroic one), Beethoven’s third symphony is commonly linked to Napoleon. However, Beethoven’s relationship to Napoleon was rather ambivalent: on the one hand, he was fascinated by Napoleon’s ideals, but at the same time he was deeply repelled by the fact that he had proclaimed himself emperor. Later, however, Beethoven is said to have revered Napoleon. His ambivalent attitude is also evidenced by the addition of the words “written on Bonaparte” to the copy of the score, which he initially erased, but later added in again.
It is also unknown, however, who the hero could be to whom Beethoven dedicated the Eroica with the words “Sinfonia Eroica composta per celebrare la morte d’un Eroe”. Researchers doubt that he could have meant Napoleon. Whatever the case, Beethoven dedicated his third symphony to a hero whose funeral he commemorates in the second movement with a brilliant funeral march and who he resurrects triumphantly at the end of the fourth movement.

The Culture Vulture flew by with a classic this morning, which i hadn't heard for ages...
The story of Scheherazade has inspired countless works of art and literature but this symphony is still the go-to classic piece of music for movies.

Mendelssohn was inspired to write the Hebrides Overture after a trip to Fingal's Cave, and the awe inspiring landscape still invites tourists to brave the choppy waters around the island: i made my pilgrimage in '92 when the weather was fortunately fine, although i wouldn't like to have been stuck there this week.
Listening in t'other day, Dan Walker told how his birdfeeder was under attack by a sneaky squirrel snaffling the seeds and wondered how the infernal tree-rat could be stopped...so, in helpful mood i e-mailed in and told how pepper could be sprinkled into the mix: the squirrel hates the smell but birds can't taste it, so all would be well.
A woman in Cheshire told him to smear grease over the pole, but he didn't say if it was on a stand, then added my input with a hearty thanks, and my day was made up. It's the simple things, really. Anyways, he got this morning orff to peaceful start with a fine piece of Eianaudi.

More people than ever are listening to the station: 4.6 million, according to Statto.
One of the reasons it's still my go-to station of a day is music like this...

Baroque n' roll for this fine frosty morn'...
A beautiful morning with the sun serenading through the window.
A choice moment to promenade along the river, feeding the ducks.
