  3. Beethoven #5 “The Emperor”

I’m terribly sorry, but Beethoven’s Symphony #5 is not known as ‘The Emperor’. You’re confusing it with the Piano Concerto #5.

Ah, thank you.

Hmm, yesss. #5. - The Chopin Waltz in Db is NOT a symphony, being a short, one movement waltz for solo piano rather than an extended work for orchestra written as an exploration of sonata form.

Should we accept the extension of the category, based as it is on an inappropriate answer? There are lots of symphonies with nicknames we haven’t mentioned yet…

[Hijack, just because this kind of stuff always interests me…]
Re - Schostakovitch’s name - the German transliteration requires the ‘Sch’ combination, and that’s the source of Dmitri’s musical signature. ‘D’ for 'Dmitri, ‘Eb’ for ‘S’ (a lesser known Germanism - ‘Eb’ is called ‘ess’ when you say it out loud. Louis Spohr also used an Eb for his musical signature.), C for ‘c’ and B natural (in German, ‘H’) for h. If you transliterate it as Shostakovich, the perfectly sensible English transliteration of his name, his musical signature no longer makes sense. And that doesn’t even get into the fact that his Polish paternal grandfather spelled the name ‘Szostakowicz’…

Spohr, by the way, used Eb with a ‘piano’ marking as a whole note, followed by a B natural, followed by an eighth rest (which looks like a lower case ‘r’) as his musical signature.

[/hijack] Game on!

Interesting. Could you explain “Lennigrad” to us now?

That’s a just plain, old-fashioned typo produced by an extra twitch on the ‘n’ key; you see them on the innternet from time to time when stupid people are in a hurry.
