I once played the bass part to Beethoven's 2nd. I remember it as being a lot of notes, but it wasn't a musical highlight of my life. Now, the bass part to the Sound of Music was a lot more fun. The Beethoven seemed like scales--but that was probably my lack of interpretation.

I'd have enjoyed it more if the conductor was more like Roger Norrington, and less like his idol Ferenc Fricsay, and played the music actually as written.
