Some books, movies or lectures we remember for years, maybe for a lifetime. For me, Robert Greenberg’s courses, especially the The Symphonies of Beethoven, is such an experience.
In this audio course Greenberg covers Beethoven’s symphonies in 32 lectures. In the duration of 24 hours and 12 minutes, the course will guide you not only in the history of his symphonies, but also provide analysis of these masterpieces. Even without musical background, the lectures are easy to follow and understand, especially with the help of the audio samples.
The course starts with the introduction of Beethoven, the man. His background, the contemporary historical events and social changes, all that influenced Beethoven and his musical development. The lectures will follow and introduce, in chronological order, all the symphonies from his Viennese period, Heroic period and finally his Late period.
This course is a life changing experience and highly recommended!
