Karin Hendrickson writes for the Royal Northern Sinfonia Blog on Beethoven during this anniversary year of his birth. “I often find that concert hall audiences don’t give themselves enough credit – they will say, “I don’t know why… I just like it.” I am confident that there is an underlying sensitivity in everyone – for the ear and mind to find balance, and to experience measures of variety, surprise, drama, and beauty . . . And just like a composer, it is completely unique to you. Beethoven’s uniqueness as a composer is that he didn’t let his technical work get in the way of his artistic voice. He was an excellent technical composer . . . but during his own lifetime, Beethoven’s bravery in his own compositional voice, and how he worked to create elements of drama and surprise, is what made this composer so revolutionary.
