Beethoven evidently thought that 6/8 was a laughing matter, because so many of his 6/8-sounding movements are scherzos, which I think is Italian for "joke." I also find it amusing that a lot of these 6/8 movements don't seem very funny to me - they are beautiful and very serious and full of grandeur. This is one that is pretty dramatic in parts, so I hope that you enjoy.
