Discovery Orchestra Chat 68 – Lightness To Darkness
Beethoven moves from light-heartedness to despair in a matter of seconds. Listen to this incredible change!
I was delighted to hear George Marriner Maull’s “Inside Music” when he discussed how to listen to and enjoy Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the 4th movement. To have the words of the choral Ode to Joy translated and explained (word for word) was enlightening and inspiring as well. And to learn all the intricacies of the music itself was fascinating.
