Encounter Lecture III

The Beethoven Effect with David Serkin Ludwig

In addition to composing a lion's share of the greatest music ever written, Beethoven, through his uncompromising personality, re-formed the identity of the composer. While Joseph Haydn was treated as a servant and Mozart quite literally begged patrons for money, Beethoven bowed to no one but the powerful muse that drove him to compose. In the final Encounter of the season, composer and dean of the Juilliard School David Serkin Ludwig reveals how Beethoven's work and life changed the world and shaped the art of music.
