Works That Shaped The World 2020: Ludwig van Beethoven
In 1794 Joseph Haydn wrote a sonata for the brilliant pianist Therese Jansen, a work of astonishing depth and complexity. A year later his pupil Ludwig van Beethoven composed his first piano sonata, which owed more than a little to Mozart (who had died four years earlier) and gave no indication of the ingenuity and originality his subsequent thirty-one sonatas would exhibit.
In 1795 everyone’s money would have been on Haydn as the architect of nineteenth century romantic spirit, not this gruff young man from Bonn.
In this fascinating illustrated talk, Paul Kildea looks at the emergence of the genius Beethoven against a backdrop of romanticism, revolution, and fast-changing piano technology and audience tastes.
