A Classical Illusion
A Classical Illusion

Ludwig, though counted as German,
had a Flemish grandfather,
which explains why he is van
and not von Beethoven.

Schroeder, being musically inclined,
gave no thought to origins
and presumed his friend, Jack Beethoven,
to be the one in question.

For Express It In Eight, 03.12.22
Prompt: “I always thought Beethoven was a native of Minnesota” - Schroeder.
