Beethoven Google Doodle tests your knowledge of composer's melodies with interactive challenge

The Telegraph

"Ludwig van Beethoven's baptism took place 245 years ago. Can you help him piece his greatest work together?"




"Visiting the Google homepage begins an interactive story in which you must put together Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Für Elise, Moonlight Sonata and Ode to Joy.
"On his way to the concert hall, a run of bad luck sees Beethoven sees his compositions destroyed in various ways, and you have to arrange sheet music in the correct order to reach the finale.
 "December 17 is not actually Beethoven's birthday, which is unknown, but marks the anniversary of his baptism in 1770.". . .
