There was a piano concert by a pianist from the then-Liberty Baptist College.

The audience was compelled to stand and salute the Flag before the concert started. I really didn't feel like it, but was compelled to follow the lead as my department chair was in attendance and could see me from his seat.

Since when does patriotism (or the false premise thereof) have anything to do with Beethoven?
