Experiencing Beethoven, music historian Geoffrey Block explores in laymans terms a highly representative body of about two dozen Beethoven instrumental and vocal works, offering listeners who know him well, or are just discovering him, an opportunity to grasp the breadth and depth of his musical genius.
Experiencing Beethoven places the composers works within the evolving context of his personal and professional life and social and cultural milieu. Block sheds light on the public and private audiences of Beethovens music, from the concerts for the composers own financial benefit to the debut of the Eroica Symphony at the palace of Prince Lobkowitz to the historic public premiere of his Ninth Symphony.
Experiencing Beethoven paints a portrait of the composers youth in Bonn, his early triumphs and artistic maturation in Vienna, anddespite the challenges his music posed to his contemporaries the recognition he received during his lifetime as the most acclaimed composer of the era. Block conveys the range and scope of Beethovens achievement, from his heroic style to his lyricism, grappling throughout with the composers power to communicate his idealistic musical vision to listeners in both his time and ours. Finally, Experiencing Beethoven explores why Beethovens music continues to enjoy an unwavering appeal in an age saturated with a range of musical styles.
