TIL Beethoven won a sight reading piano competition by turning his sheet music upside down, playing it, then improvising on one of its themes for thirty minutes. His opponent, Daniel Steibelt, never returned to challenge him again.

via ift.tt

He didn’t just turn his sheet music upside down, his sheet music was Daniel Steibelts discarded sheets. Which he then played in a reverse order.

Just imagine being in a rap battle where your opponent just says everything you say but backwards, picks one of your lines and builds an entire new verse off this one line and then raps for a half an hour from that one line. I’d never come back either.
