about Music – The Art of Listening. Programme 73
Loading player...
Beethoven as a composer bridged between two periods in the history of music. He was taught and influenced by Haydn as well as Johann Baptist Schenk, Emanuel Aloys Förster, Anton Salieri, and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. Beethoven held the music of Mozart in high regard, although it is unknown if the two ever met.
We are on the path to compare and be able to identify the music of the three classical giants, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. We have covered Haydn’s Music thoroughly over the past several weeks, and Mozart’s on two separate occasions in November last year and in September this year. You can listen to these again in the Podcast section on GSA Radio.
But today we do an easy introduction to Beethoven by just listening to some of his best known and most loved compositions. We can start the discussion of his style next week.
So I have lined up for you 7 of Beethoven’s best known and most loved works and we will listen to these without interruption for this hour.
Enjoy!
