Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (2011) - TTC Video & Audio Lectures by R. Greenberg

Beethoven was a revolutionary man living in a revolutionary time. He captured his inner voice-demons and all-and the spirit of his time, and in doing so, created a body of music the likes of which no one had ever before imagined.''An artist must never stand still,'' he once said. A virtuoso at the keyboard, Beethoven used the piano as his personal musical laboratory, and the piano sonata became, more than any other genre of music, a place where he could experiment with harmony, motivic development, the contextual use of form, and, most important, his developing view of music as a self-expressive art.
