Re: "Heroic"
All my life, I've known Beethoven's 3rd by its Italian name, "Eroica".
I think I always confused it with the English word "Erotica". LOL!
Me, too... especially when I would see pictures for the "Eroica Trio."

Ah, you've reminded me of Tom Weller's "Cvltvre Made Stvpid" book,
which
along with this featured such classics as Mussorgsky's "Pictures of an
Exhibitionist", Purcell's "Trumpet Involuntary", Offenbach's
"Orpheus in
His Underwear" and of course the Tacobell "Cannon". :^D Priceless...
