Exploring Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas! I'm delighted to launch another set of new lectures of this course as Part 2. As before, this class is meant for people of all levels of experience with Beethoven's music (including no experience at all!). Remember that you are able to watch the lectures as many times as you like, at whatever pace is comfortable for you. As I’ve done with the first set of Beethoven lectures, I look forward to meeting with students—online and in person, in various cities. The dates and locations will be posted in the Announcements and Events section, as part of the course content. So please remember to check back there for details. In these four new lectures, we will explore the following sonatas: • Sonata Op. 2, No. 3 • Sonata Op. 13 (“Pathetique”) • Sonata Op. 53 (“Waldstein”) • Sonata Op. 90 The Dolfinger-McMahon Foundation supports Curtis’s lifelong learning initiatives.

What people are saying

gifted pianist generously shares

An ear-opening series of lectures, in which a gifted pianist generously shares his knowledge.

coarse yet hopefully functional

Excellent delivery of content and virtuosic playing at the same time I suppose a coarse yet hopefully functional metaphor is we get to fly "in the cockpit".

many things require re-re-re-revising

I will be revisiting the course since many things require re-re-re-revising over and over again.

experiences available on coursera

One of the best life experiences available on Coursera, highly recommended.

lecturing about absolutely anything

ever explained just where

The mystery remains why, with all their technical expertise and cleverness, no analyst of Beethoven's works has ever explained just WHERE he got his themes and melodies from.

explain its beauty

However, Professor Bliss love and knowledge of Beethoven's music, coupled with his ability to explain its beauty, provides the fuel to push the student to the next level of love and appreciation for classical music.
