Festival

Beethovenfest Bonn 2021

No poet could resist the silvery glow of the earth’s satellite, still less any composer. It transforms the shape of our world. ‘Moonlight’ is a romantic theme par excellence. It was made to order for the new subjectivity of experience that emerged around the year 1800 and led, in the course of the 19th century, to ever-deeper probes of pleasure and pain in feeling and orchestral colour.

Programme

Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony no. 6 in F major, op. 68 `Pastoral`) (1807/08)

Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 in B flat major, op. 60

Overview

In 1840, faced with the especially demanding Leipzig audience, Liszt placed a symphony on his programme that he was particularly fond of playing: the ‘Pastorale’.

Wouldn’t the original have been more fitting in a city groomed on Mendelssohn, Schumann and the Gewandhaus? Whatever the case, he did not consider his piano reductions to be stopgaps compensating for the lack of an orchestra. He trusted the modern grand piano to have all the necessary qualities, bar none: ‘Through the immense development of its harmonic power the piano is increasingly seeking to appropriate all orchestral compositions. In the compass of its seven octaves it is able … to reproduce all the characteristics, all the combinations, all the forms of the deepest and most profound works of music’.
