Beethoven the Rebel
Beethoven the Rebel
with Delgani violist Kimberlee Uwate
Did Beethoven resent the teaching of Haydn? In an exploration of the six quartets of Beethoven’s Opus 18, we will look at the composer’s early string quartets that show opposing sides of a genius searching for his voice. With masterful works showcasing the balance and poise perfected by his predecessors, the set highlights an uncontainable creativity as Beethoven pushed the limits of musical expression and experimentation. Join violist Kimberlee Uwate for a look at the 1790s through the eyes of the new generation of democracy, even while overlapping in time and place with the beloved sounds of monarchy.
