Baby Remember My Name

In 1800, Beethoven wrote his Sonata for Horn and Piano for that most famous of horn players, Giovanni Punto. You know who I'm talking about - Punto! No? Let's hear what the reviewers had to say about the first performance:

From an issue of the Ofener und Pester Theatertaschenbach we quote, "...Who is this Beethover [sic]? The history of German music is not acquainted with such a name. Punto of course is very well known."

Hapless critic, I bet you're glad your name wasn't published after all.
