    MUSICAL MILESTONES: 250th Anniversary Celebration
    BEETHOVEN: (i) The Early Years to 1800
    A talk illustrated with fine CD recordings by Adrian Boynton
    With the explosion of the genius of Beethoven at the end of the
    eighteenth century the classical era reached both a climax
    and a dissolution. Beethoven's music embodied a new dynamism
    and power which not only demanded that it be listened to in
    different ways but also symbolised the changing role of the
    composer in society - no longer its servant, required meekly to meet its needs, but its visionary, its hero figure. In the first of four sessions, we explore the early works of Beethoven the master pianist, including the first ten Piano Sonatas, the Piano Trios, Piano Quintet and the Piano Concertos in B flat and C. We also study the Op 18 String Quartets and First Symphony: works which hold the key to Beethoven's later revolution of classical form.
