Concert Program III: From the Heart
The “musician as hero” was invented by Beethoven as he triumphed over deafness to fulfill his artistic destiny. Beginning in 1803, a decade of masterpieces cemented his reputation as the world’s most famous musician, and an artist who was truly his own muse. His victories over adversity opened the doors of musical imagination to composers everywhere, from the young, awestruck Schubert to the visionary women composers Louise Farrenc and Clara Schumann.
