Dr. Paul's Classics features Beethoven!

beethoven The man who changed the course of European classical music is the most popular composer of all time, according to a poll taken by KDFC, long time classical station in the Bay Area (since 1948). His music is, by turns, dynamic, lyrical, gentle, and eternal. Beethoven was born in the month of December, so he will be our featured composer today (all right, November is almost over) and all month long. Today I played a lovely Beethoven sonata for piano and cello, as well as his monumental triple concerto for piano, violin, and cello, featuring superstar Yo-Yo Ma. Next week, I plan more Beethoven: any suggestions? How about the Fifth Symphony? The Ninth? Suggest a piece by submitting a comment.
