Virtual course of:edX |
This course aims to enhance your understanding and appreciation of the music of Ludwig van Beethoven by exploring a genre at the center of his development as a composer: the string quartet. Spread evenly between the periods in which her life and his work are usually divided, his 16 quartets offer a broadly representative record of his changing musical language. The six quartets of the first period closely follow in the footsteps of Beethoven's teacher Haydn, the acknowledged "father" of the genre; the five quartets of the middle period significantly expand the musical form and the range of dramatic expression; the remaining five quartets, written in the composer's idiosyncratic "late style", take the genre to unprecedented levels of innovation.
