Opera House Concert - Program I

Beethoven’s 250th Birthday

We start and end the season celebrating the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. His influence on future generations of composers cannot be overstated: Brahms was widely considered Beethoven’s successor, and Hans von Koessler, teacher of Dohnányi and Kodály (featured in the April 13 program), was an adherent of Brahms.

Folk Music and Beethoven’s Successors

Kodály was heavily influenced by Eastern European folk music, as was Dvořák (easily heard in the third movement of the Piano Quartet). Yet you can also hear Beethoven’s influence in the structure and passion in their works performed in this program.
