5K EVERY DAY – Day #351

(Opener of “Für Elise” from Jon Batiste)

If Ludwig van Beethoven were still alive today,
he’d be celebrating his 255th birthday.

(Opener of “Symphony No. 5 Stomp” from Jon Batiste)

Unfortunately, he’s not.
But what is alive is the music.

That’s why albums like Beethoven Blues from Jon Batiste matter —
they don’t preserve classical music in glass…
they move it forward.

(More of “Symphony No. 5 Stomp” from Jon Batiste)

Batiste takes something written centuries ago
and reminds us that progress doesn’t come from copying the past —
it comes from showing up and reinterpreting it.

That’s what today was for me.
Day 351 of 5K Every Day — completed.
