Google's Search Doodles can often be fun, especially when they're interactive. Today's is one of my own personal favorites. In remembrance of Ludwig Van Beethoven's 245th year, the Google Doodle team created an interactive game in which you help Beethoven rescue sheet music so that he can make it to the concert venue. If you're not into classical music, or don't know how to read sheet music, this may not be your 'cup of tea'.
There are four 'levels' in the game, each of which involves arranging sections of a famous piece of music in the correct order. Even if you're not a Beethoven nut, you should recognize all four of them. The game takes apart the most well-known phrases from Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Für Elise, Moonlight Sonata and Ode To Joy. Chances are, even if you didn't know they were Beethoven's music, you'll have at least heard them before.
If you've never read sheet music, don't worry, each section has a little sound icon which you can press to preview the phrase, before you decide where it needs to go.
To help poor old Beethoven retrieve and rescue his precious music, head on over to the Google homepage and enjoy (make sure you have your speakers turned up too).
