What if you woke up every morning with your head full of music? Ludwig van Beethoven must surely have known what that was like. This great composer was also a remarkable pianist, which is why he wrote so brilliantly for both orchestra and solo piano. During the concert, we'll hear works in which this magnificent instrument takes the leading role, before listening to some of Beethoven's best-known symphonic passages. We'll talk about his life and about how he was seen by his contemporatries. We'll also wonder what we would like most about him if we were to meet him today.
