Good Monday morning to you!
Completed two years earlier in 1812, Beethoven's Eighth Symphony was performed for the first time on this day in 1814.
Here is Leonard Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic.

Belated Music Monday - Leonard Bernstein, et. al.
Leonard Bernstein,
Jerome Robbins,
Gene Kelly,
Oh, my!
From the MGM film, On the Town (which didn't contain that much of Bernstein's music in the end, but this ballet is his, as well as the opener, "New York, New York"):
More about the amazing Mr. Bernstein at a later date. Promise! In the meantime, there are American Masters episodes about all three of these talented gentlemen:
Leonard Bernstein - Reaching for the Note
Jerome Robbins - Something to Dance About (just saw this one last week)
Gene Kelly - Anatomy of Dancer
