fan base has been has been 250 years ago in for a musical genius who became one of the most famous classical composers who time the anniversary of his have been so good to celebrate a lot of this and i didn't tell the complete patna of the paycheck in any frustration society. in this edition of costs 21 we ask why does a child still uses those accounts for his income to me feel fantastic want to find out who was helping me. an eccentric genius beethoven as portrayed by ed harris. gary oldman beethoven was more dishevelled even confused.

bam-bam toby a small readies beethoven is a successful respected musician but at times soul searching even wracked by doubt. but who was beethoven really. beethoven is just he is the ultimate. expression of music humanism. politics forward thinking fighting against all odds big fun beethoven was born in bonn in december 17th 70. his father was quick to recognize his extraordinary talent. was just 7 when he gave his 1st formal yanno recital. but his moonlight sonata would come later in 1901. beethoven was

a child of his age shaped by the values of the enlightenment and the political and intellectual ideals of the french revolution. it was a difficult time. for every person and difficult time becomes a difficult person. beethoven a difficult person. many music experts would call that an understatement beethoven has been variously described as fierce self-indulgent irascible impatient and egocentric. and yet his music for example has 6 symphony is full of beauty. maybe oh all the stereotypes that we thought about beethoven and these famous. images of bedouin are not true at all but the question remains who was beethoven really. was his genius so vast that he couldn't help but feel

misunderstood. something that's often been described as the fate of child prodigies. sufferers are good with all of this stuff and to be in a roan's of the bunch of. the limited to root people. no the ruled the world. perhaps the answer lies in beethoven's personal tragedy by the age of 28 he was almost completely down. a man who lived for music and the perfection of sound who could no longer hear. in 824 he conducted the work now regarded by many as his greatest achievement the 9th symphony. beethoven died 3 years later in vienna the city in whose concert halls and stages he wrote musical history but his legacy is

a more. a child and builds bridges st lucie captivation people who've lived up including the middle east we turn $23.00 special project in fact to. the director of hostel and fish that has always been a fan of ludwig van beethoven's music she helped to perform a very special work to mark the anniversary but not in germany the performance was to take place in the iraqi capital baghdad with support from the gupta institute. there plans on good does it more to commemorate the base of the 2020 celebrations of the plan was to stage good has a. good base has been composed in baghdad with the rocky atlantis and the iraqi national symphony orchestra to do not something a fitting location for a fitting tribute the iraqi national symphony orchestra has long featured the

egmont overture and its repertoire good to wrote the play but it was beethoven who composed the music. alone and virus pandemic almost spelled the end of the project. but astrid faced it had a plan b. instead of staging a play she decided to make a film and including footage of the rehearsals in baghdad. beethoven's music was set to the arabic translation of curtis text. i'm trying to rehearse with the musicians on zoom and though we can't see in the connection. we somehow found a way to communicate. that's also how she stayed in touch with other members of the project. this is our camera man in baghdad where nia.

also directed the filming over the internet the play itself is about a battle for freedom but and failure the director divided it into a separate scene which were then filmed in various locations in baghdad. she's already spent months working on a project. much of the inspiration came from beethoven himself and his music. is for me. i mean the nature of it all has incredible clarity and his musical language. and it just was odd and also his sincerity in a way and it was when i listen to beethoven i feel. i also feel free i'm moved by the music not carried away this is kind of new modes and another from the money there's nothing manipulative about his music but it's brilliant sushi freedom . ringback for the iraqi musicians and performers the long distance collaboration

was also a new experience. but it gave them strength during a difficult time. hard being locked down for a few months doing nothing was really hard it was harder than working. so my energy. out and doing something. or. other video was shot so we go. ok on some points it got. more cohesive. so you are really good musicians i'm ready happy about this. man come on you need specialist maman on ash meetings it when such a difficult situation there's almost nothing better than to talk to people about literature and listen to music and also to come from somewhere else and say we

won't get found by we're with you we want to make this happen and. it was a big part of our motivations a lot of us who were in. the film is now done but the anticipation continues the film material was sent by post from baghdad some weeks ago but it still hasn't arrived. it's up it was not also just i believe beethoven also had very strong. i would have liked to have spoken to him to meet him and. he would have seen a project like this 3. masted faced had hopes she'll be able to make her film soon in the meantime she'll fill her time waiting with beethoven's music. beethoven's anniversary he has proved many challenges and many performances were cancelled due to the coronavirus. but the maestro was still celebrated in finance

and creativity. the beethoven open air concert was one of berlin's summer highlights under the baton of danielle bach and boy the berlin shots cappella performance featured and also feel more time. after recovering from the coronavirus the star violinist was happy to be before a live audience streaming streaming is quite nice you can take part in something invented in peru for example but the life experience being there nothing beats that . beethoven elegy almost melancholy. but with a rousing conclusion the famous ode to joy. to mark the beethoven anniversary d.w. has produced 3 major documentaries the film beethoven's 9th symphony for the world

shows how one of the most performed works of all time continues to move people the world over the whole world is vibrating to me this is fatal i thought that the. film than 8 different countries the documentary features composers conductors and musicians. in spain it accompanies young people with hearing impairments as they feel their way toward beethoven going to either. in osaka japan caucus audio conducts 10000 amateur singers through beethoven's old joy and. this john beck has filmed garnered accolades around the world including the ai field work for international media excellence and the put me on the us one of spain's most prestigious awards in television broadcasting for some of these singers it was their 1st ever encounter with beethoven a project sponsored by the go to institute brought together women's choirs from 6

countries in southeastern europe to rehearse and old for all. the fact that joined by beethoven a performance of choirs from bosnia turkey bulgaria serbia cyprus and romania what does joy mean to them the family and love and unity and sydney it was the quiet civil the luxury of time is for us amazing because we are just so busy. the premiere at berlin's ideologist and could only take place digitally but next year they hope to go on tour. in june d.w. streamed live the program of the beethoven anniversary society from the beethoven house and beyond. the centerpiece was the 6th symphony the pastoral which musically

depicts the composer's love of nature and the premiere of the d.w. documentary about the pastoral the sound of nature a fitting tribute to the u.n. world environment day. beethoven turned on its head 2 years ago director of the hamburg ballet john noir put on his 1st beethoven project december 2020 was to feature the premiere of his new beethoven project but dance fans will have to wait a bit longer. there's also a brand new graphic novel out about beethoven the illustrations are a walk on the wild side a bit like the great musician and self the hash tag beethoven was black slip social media. the belief goes back more than a century and evidence is stamped but many in the black community still celebrate beethoven as one of their own.

lives and as the anniversary draws to a close and italian man plowed a very special monument to beethoven next year and 2021 the celebrations will continue with fresh highlights including the beethoven fest gong. the anniversary date of you has produced 3 major documentaries a world without phytoplankton explores how the great composer left his mom. who won't and rock music. sara willis is a french film pliant with the 1000000000 film money in this anniversary she asks what would our world so. sound like without. and such is the world france's. 3 g.'s followed by any 4 nuts that's all it takes the opening motif of

beethoven's 5th symphony is in crane in memory is sure to the make friends is the mother of roofs off wrong. is space having really one of the godfathers of rock he did it all began with beethoven and chuck berry. there will sort out some giants of rock to see if they learned their licks from a television including internet i'm standing right in front of the very famous peppermint studios where inside the scorpions are rehearsing with the scorpions a jimmy's most successful hard rock band has sold over 100000000 albums and performed on stage for 50 years and they're known for their timeless riffs.

response yet it seemed we germans in particular are any phones to buy classical music music and it's in our genes or stick classic so we've been so shaped by it that it's melody and rhythm have left their mark on us plates and. buttons and you have to find something that sends out a signal well that's a really important point to a comb and then you have to hold on to that tension but don't cut it. infant sam eats of broccoli. anderson from

jethro tull he's a must browsing rock prints on the front. beethoven's 5th the opening statement as being typical of the the motif in music not just classical music rock music jazz pop whatever a motif an idea that is that is repeated very often as a repeating motif which then tends to be shortened to wrist did did use that idea develops that idea of the thought that. a good rock or if i suppose is going to be simple direct it's going to repeat i love the one that was easy top one that is this wonderful shuffle thing with a lot of back beat stuff that is called la grange.

just some sleaze it's really 3 notes and in many ways you know it's that same thing was the wonderful whole lot of love which is in the whiskey and. ian anderson it's clear. there was a stop. maybe beethoven you see him if he was born again today i don't really see him riding around in the stately family for safety. yes with 2 screaming kids in the back i think of beethoven more like an off road motorcycle guy you know getting a bit down and dirty in the mud that's my idea of a beethoven. with some great beats still ringing

in her ears sarah willis continues on her quest to explore more musical questions in haiti new documentary a world without beethoven. out of the deja vu documentary is dedicated to the pastoral beethoven 6 symphony in the sound of nature we meet up with composer ricky cage. i'm pretty good yeah i'm a musician i'm an environmentalist and for the last few years of dedicated my life for to the sole purpose of creating environmental consciousness through my music i'm very much indian and i live in india. ricky kedge was born in the u.s. in 1901. a successful composer and music producer he's performed in over 30 countries around the world. in 2015 hedge won

a grammy for his album the winds of some sorrow he's been named a unesco ambassador for kindness but he has another passion beethoven especially his symphony number 6 the pastoral symphony which pays homage to nature the pastoral is a composition which i absolutely admire someone in the back of my mind for many many years it's always been there tried to you know make my own words you know fit our tragedy of unit in my own way and everyone. simply because this would be like pretty much the mother of all compositions when it comes to nature if you just in time for this anniversary year wrote his own version of beethoven's pastoral symphony for a traditional indian ensemble. i express myself through indian music so that's why when i had to express myself through be dylan's best role in my new i do not make of aversions of songs where he

often in fact it's extremely there but in this case it was very very natural for me to do it. was with his pastoral project he wants to take a stand for nature since india has huge environmental concerns starting with the air pollution mitigating the effects of climate change you've got deforestation you've got species extinction you've got the plastics problem. but i would see that the biggest issue in india is the part that everybody has that somebody else will make a difference. ricky kedge is a man on a mission and one who inspires the masses. is going to fund them all the enlightenment this on the fun thing about mean children.

but on the journey of being humans we have forgotten that we ahd not the only 3 she's on this planet we're just one among millions and millions of species on the planet could be one of the model cars. india is already of universally affected by climate change yet the country has been slow to switch to renewable energy sources still protest is growing and minds are being changed. i believe that the as the indians need to go back to our roots we need to go back to our culture to understand you know where we come from and to understand that we need to live in absolute coexistence and in an absolute balance without n.y. meant because that is the key to also why with. a

german is perhaps best known for his famous symphonies the 9th was to be followed by the chance which was never finished perhaps he may 1 day be performed after all . there's musical genius and there's a guy. what happens when the 2 meet can artificial intelligence complete with the maestro didn't live long enough to beethoven's 10th symphony as a collection of fragmentary sketches now after 200 years the unfinished work is finally supposed to be completed using algorithms but is ai creative enough. toefl and you can't tell it out of thin air compose like beethoven long code that doesn't work against what you can do is to train artificial intelligence like you would a person show it music and it will provide examples that train the ai in the law then it will be in a position to generate new music in the style of beethoven. international team

feeds the machine with pieces of music and contemporary samples. it can then recognize structures and sequences of notes analyze them and then make its own suggestions. and it's not just beethoven's work has to be completed with the help of algorithms fran schubert symphony number 8 was finished by ai and made its debut in london in 2019. in the same year to start malas now complete not symphony was performed at the us electronica festival in lands austria. often it was impossible to tell who wrote what model or machine. now it's beethoven's turn he loved innovation and trying new things but what do you

have been pleased by these 1st drafts produced by ai it turned out up to 200 variations of individual bars but they all missed the point as well is this the same time as mission i'm kind of that it's a bit of a hodgepodge mainly because you don't sense there's any direction so i said this is how it needs to continue so if i took it. all through the machine couldn't figure that out because it doesn't think or feel a i offer is plenty of inspiration but hasn't made human superfluities yet. to this point and many phases of this project man and machine work together we aim to show that the cooperation between creative technology and creative people can create special things being a shuffle can. here's a little preview there's no more to hear yet as the pandemic led to the postponement of the world premiere. so for now the project to

complete beethoven's unfinished symphony remains ironically unfinished. that's all it is beethoven and if history edition strangely want a little classical music and cool small beethoven drop the channel details classical music enjoy and sickly sweet.
