Section Title:
Beethoven's Creative Process
Section Info:
This seminar will explore Beethoven's compositional workship as well as his convictions about the relation of his art to social and political conditions. In 1814, Beethoven declared his determination to elevate artisitic creativity over world affairs: Beethoven declared his determination to elevate artistic creativity over world affairs: "I regard the empire of the mind as the best and highest of all spiritual and wordly realms." An evaluation of Beethoven's aesthetic views and spiritual aspirations helps clarity the tensional relation of art and politics while shedding light on the abiding appeal of his music up to the present.
