Beethoven and Beyond
Saturday, March 28, 2020
11 AM
Goethe-Institut
In this daylong symposium, explore Beethoven’s transformational impact on Western music, artistry, culture, and sensibility. What explains his extraordinary singularity? From what cultural, political, and philosophical sources did Beethoven draw? In what ways did he invent the modern artist and celebrity—and why does he stand, to this day, as a symbol of artistic autonomy and mercurial genius?
