Google’s new doodle honours Beethoven on the 245th anniversary of the maestro’s baptism with an interactive doodle.

The puzzle is aimed at testing our knowledge of the maestro’s compositions as we help him reach a concert in time.
In a post about the Doodle, Google said, “Today provided us a rare opportunity to construct a game in step with beautiful music, whose evocative moods, drama, lightness and depth made conjuring visuals to match it rollickingly fun.”
