  • Description:

    Having given courses on various composers I have decided to conclude my journey through the Romantic period of classical music by giving a course on Beethoven. The format will be the same as in the past 6 years. Beethoven composed nine symphonies, 30 piano sonatas,17 string quartets and many other pieces in every genre. So there is plenty to chose from. For those of you who do not know me, I am not a musicologist nor do I play any musical instrument but I do have a lot of CDs. If you're looking for an in-depth analysis of the music or the man this course is not for you. What you will get is the opportunity to listen, in a relaxed setting, to a lot of Beethoven's music and learn a little of his life. It is primarily a listening course and not a discussion forum.
