I was reading a book today and I came across a pretty cool Black historical figure I just wanted to share. His name was George Bridgetower and he was a virtuoso violinist who mostly lived in Britain in 17th and 18th centuries. He was considered a prodigy and attracted crowds as a performer as young as age nine, and he influenced Beethoven. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bridgetower
Oh I'm sick. So he and Beethoven were friends, fell out, and Beethoven gave the piece he was gonna gift to him to another guy... Who NEVER played it, unlike Bridgetower, but whose NAME is on it. WOW!!!! They need to rename that damn sonata. That sucks!! How did he play it, make it better, and then it doesn't have his name 😭 Beethoven you salty bastard get in here, you know you made that for Bridgetower!!
