No single note is superfluous; no single note is missing. From the initial sonority to the concluding chord, every event is necessary, and each event relates intrinsically to every other event. Beethoven’s genius unfolds moment by moment as he develops his opus as an organic whole. Join us as we “scratch the surface” of a work worthy of a lifetime of investigation.
