Donald Macleod follows Beethoven’s progress as he seeks out
wealthy Viennese patrons for his music.
This week, Donald Macleod follows Beethoven through the years
1796-99, as the young composer learns to negotiate the privileged
and moneyed circles of Vienna’s culture-loving aristocracy. Few
can resist his extraordinary charisma as a virtuoso pianist but
will he also be able to persuade them of his talents as a
composer? In this episode, Beethoven undertakes his first
international tour, reluctantly accepts piano students, puts his
music before a wider public and starts work on his ambitious
first symphony.
Composer of the Week will be returning to the story of
Beethoven’s life and music throughout 2020. Part of Radio 3’s
Beethoven Unleashed season marking the 250th anniversary of
Beethoven’s birth.
