Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his family, circa 1780
Musical promenades at the Museums XI - Beethoven’s Septet
Co-production with Arte Atene
If you believe that Beethoven’s revolutionary spirit was only evident after a certain point in his career, then it is worth listening to his Septet, a work which became famous from the very first and remains so today. Despite its lightness, which can feel like a serenade, Beethoven's genius finds a way to experiment with its forms and timbres, to develop its ideas, and to create a sound world of unparalleled beauty.
