Well, I thought I knew but when I was asked before posting my first messages I failed regularly...
Is it "9" or "nine" or "10" or "ten" or what? I tried all...

According to the old schoolboy howler, it's three - the Eroica, the Pastoral and the ninth!

Sorry, Mark! I placed this under "Problems" because it concerned the technical matters of the site. ;)

Oh, I see! Sorry, I'm a fool, I shouldn't have moved it. I didn't realise that question was still used, as it gave rise to just the confusion which you illustrate. I'll delete it.

My thanks and apologies for skimming your post and jumping to a conclusion.

Even Jove nods, you know....

A visit to the Unheard Beethoven web site might help you to come to a conclusion on this one.
