[Dixielandjazz] Swingin' Beethoven?

[Stan Brager]

David;

Try John Kirby Sextet and "Beethoven Riffs On" cut on January 15, 1941 for 
Columbia with Charlie Shavers (tp), Buster Bailey (cl), Russell Procope 
(as), Billy Kyle (p), O'Neill Spencer (dr), and John Kirby on bass.

When it comes to classical composers music being swung, I always head first 
to Kirby.

Hi all,

a listener called me during my show to ask if I knew the Beethoven
composition that had a particularly distinctive "swing" rhythm or
syncopation to it. He said he had heard it a few years ago on another
station but did not catch the name.

I forgot to ask him if this was a piano solo, concerto, or full
orchestral piece but my knowledge of Beethoven is somewhat limited - I
hope at least one of you DJML folks might know what he was on about.  I
seem to recall that this topic was on the list a few years ago but I
did not find anything when I searched my old folders.

Any Ideas?

TIA
