This is bunk.  The man pictured is indeed a Black composer, but he's not Beethoven! He's   Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges    The Chevalier was a renowned Renaissance man of his era; a skilled soldier, revolutionary, composer, piano tutor (to Marie Antoinette!) , writer, actor, and singer.  Please do not erase him from history for the sake of an appealing lie.   pfft, so you're telling me this was a bunch of bologne?  … Bologna?  And Tumblr continuesto be completely embarrassing  It's like we have a generation compulsive pathological Liars.  Not only that but like the person above said they completely erased the identity of a legitimate black classical composer, and it's fucking awesome to know that those existed. You had an opportunity for legitimate representation and you decided to turn it into a ridiculous lie instead."
