Retired, and recovering, lawyer coming back to online forums. I've been here before, and have many friends who are deeply involved in the Wiki world; it can be used for much good, it can be used for much bad. I only want to do good.
My interests are mainly in the areas of corporate mergers and acquisitions, and leaders in business and politics, trying to keep them honest! But, I love to just browse too. I look at geopolitical, and market trends. I examine mainly publicly traded companies where strong "buy" or "sell" suggestions have been made by the "experts", and I examine the experts as well. I will swiftly, but politely, delete anything that is not supported by sources, that appears to be used to "pump" stock (even without dump intent), or that seems irrelevant to issues or articles. I don't tolerate vandalism, or people who seem to have an axe to grind against companies or other people.
Feel free to leave a message on my talk page here with any comments or questions.
The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music. It is one of the best-known works in common practice music and one of the most frequently performed symphonies worldwide. Symphony No. 9 was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. In the 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe, and later the European Union, as the Anthem of Europe. This photograph displays page 12 of Beethoven's original manuscript and is currently held in the collection of the Berlin State Library.Manuscript credit: Ludwig van Beethoven
