O Freunde! Wachsen, wachsen!
(O friends! Grow, grow!)
"O Freunde" is the opening phrase to the Chorale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. I had to look up the translation for grow. :gig
I would like to jump in on this. #9 Spitzhauben, would you like to be Beethoven? He's my favorite composer, a hero of mine, and his 9th Symphony is my favorite piece of music.
(I know it's a Swiss breed, but it "sounds" kind of German.)
