I had this type of project in mind... I petered out of juice, but want to do it someday. Thanks for a cheat sheet to get me started/motivated again.

Also I very much agree with your taste.

Also just saw your Beethoven quotes. Here's two I like:

1. Beethoven: Was ich scheiße ist besser als was du je gedacht hast. (What I shit is better than anything you have ever thought of).

2. Mahler: Alles hat eine Ende. Bloß eine Wurst. Die hat zweier. (Everything has an end. Except for a sausage. It has two).
