What does a college visit have to do with Beethoven and Mozart? - A random glance at history

On Friday, @cmp2020 and I went for his first "official" college visit at Eastern University in St. Davids, PA. We had a fun time touring the campus, monitoring a musicianship class, and meeting with admissions and music department personnel. The day also had a surprising tie-in to classical music history.

Aside from a chance comment by the admissions counsellor, there would have been nothing blogworthy about our college visit to Eastern University the other day. The day began in the admissions office, we toured the campus and had lunch in the campus cafeteria with a student tour-guide (Thanks, Collin!), then monitored a musicianship class and returned to the admissions office. Of course, all of that was interesting to a prospective student and his father, but nothing that would qualify for a blog post.
