This class will delve into Beethoven’s life, career, and music. Ludwig van Beethoven stands at the pinnacle of instrumental composition and is the giant who set the standard for most of the symphonic composers who followed. He was a revolutionary whose works upset tradition, broke new ground, and established the highest levels of precedence and excellence. Participants should leave with an appreciation of how very much Beethoven accomplished and a deeper “freude” (joy) of his music.
