This lecture delves into The Met collection to consider the raw material at the heart of Beethoven’s symphonies: the instruments themselves. From the orchestra of Beethoven’s time to our modern symphonic ensembles and the growing presence of period-performance ensembles, The Met’s Bradley Strauchen-Scherer explores the impact of instruments in shaping performances and perceptions past and present.
