Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.

Thanks – finals in a gloomy year and this was remedy.
Unexpected music is special. I remember walking home to my apartment one spring evening when Juilliard was still up on Claremont avenue and passing an open apartment window through which I could hear a string quartet being performed. It was wonderful and entrancing, and I just stood there and listened.
I’ve always loved this piece. I think it’s one of Beethoven’s best. I’ve always preferred Mozart and Bach, but this one is very effective.
Beethoven always struck me as too serious, while Mozart and Bach seemed to be as much about having fun as making music.
But this piece is… what it is.
