Today is the anniversary of when Napoleon began the disastrous French invasion of Russia by crossing the River Niemen with 614,000 men. The year, of course, was 1812.
My first student of the day, who lives not far from here,
and also not far from here,
told me that he had visited the 1812 museum, just outside Red Square, on Saturday. He recommended a visit and one day I will probably go and see for myself.
Today's video clip has to be from Tchaikovskiy's 1812 overture. Enjoy.
