The Sound of Beethoven
b'
An episode from 1/1/24: Tonight, a cold has forced me to hand over the episode almost entirely to some of the greatest music ever written. Here are excerpts of my favorite pieces from Ludwig van Beethoven (1750-1827). It\\u2019s hard to think of music that is more passionate, introspective, uplifting, brooding, mournful, and joyous. The sources for the music I use are:
\\n- \\n
- Excerpts from the Ninth Symphony/Op. 125 is conducted by Eugen Duvier. \\n
- Excerpts from the Piano Sonatas (#1 and #2/Op. 2, #8/Op. 13, #13 and #14/Op. 27 #15/Op. 28, #17/Op. 31, #21/Op. 53, #22/Op. 54, #27/Op. 90), and the Fifth Piano Concerto/Op. 73 come from the complete recordings by Claudio Arrau. \\n
- The excerpt from the Op. 70 \\u201cGhost\\u201d Trio, from the Trio Bell\\u2019Arte. \\n
- Excerpts from String Quartet 13/Op. 130 and String Quartet 15/Op. 132 come from the recordings by the Quartteto Italiano.\\xa0 \\n
- Excerpts from Missa Solemnis, Op. 123, is conducted by John Eliot Gardiner. \\n
- The excerpt from Robert Greenberg lecture comes from his Great Courses set on the Piano Sonatas.\\xa0 \\n
