Science has virtually confirmed what classical music lovers have intuitively known through the ages: what proves to be profound, deep and enriching is also, simply, good for us. This comes as no surprise because the intricacies of classical music are not only aesthetically pleasing but they also help to develop our mental muscles as well. And what could be more challenging for the brain than Beethoven?

Although Beethoven is known for storming the musical heavens with his passionate musicality, he also revealed a seductive and soft-spoken melodic gift. Opening this CD is a delightful set of variations on Scottish, Irish and Welsh tunes. Written for piano and flute, the gentleness of these tunes will stimulate the growing minds of the youngest of music lovers among us.
