never would have gone on the trip but i would not have put myself and my parents on my dangerous part of the theme of the but i did a sleeper with. my one son to the other one the body of the one i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but i'm going to. want to know their story for my greatest fear for it and reliable information for margaret's. it's not bob bob bob. it's your pop up. i think you can't really be a musician. if you're not addicted to beethoven.

and beethoven was born 250 years ago in forming a musical genius who became one of the most famous classical composers who time the anniversary of his have been so good to celebrated was this a i think doug kmiec patna of the beethoven and infinite string society. in this edition of pots 21 we ask why does a child still move this most accounts for his in june feel caught 1st of all to find out was it has been. 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 live it 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. every person in 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 his 6 symphony is full of beauty. maybe all the stereotypes that we thought about best hope and these famous. images of bedouin are not true at all but the question remains who was beethoven really. was his genius so bast that he couldn't help but feel misunderstood.

something that's often been described as the fate of child prodigies. suffers i'm good with all of this done and. to be in a roan's of the bunch of the limited to rude people. now the rule. perhaps the answer lies in beethoven's personal tragedy by the age of 28 he was almost completely deaf. 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 immortal.

has and builds bridges through music captivation people will fill it up including the middle east we turn to 3 special project in fact. the director of the fish that has always been a fan of ludwig van beethoven's music she hoped 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 a good institute. and the plans on good just more to commemorate the base have been 2020 celebrations of the plan was to stage good as a bomb to notice at the base has been composed in baghdad with a rocky act as an iraqi national symphony orchestra did you know something a fitting location for a fitting tribute the iraqi national symphony orchestra has long featured the

egmont overture and its repertoire due to wrote the play but it was beethoven who composed the music. alone and virus endemic 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 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. come on this is our camera man in baghdad.

also directed the filming over the internet the play itself is about a battle for freedom engine failure the director divided into separate c. 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 in his musical language. and it just was are going down and also a sincerity in a way when i listen to beethoven i feel gluten. i also feel free i'm moved by the music. not carried away this is kind of new modes and i know from the money there's nothing manipulative about his music it's brilliant suspicious of freedom. 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 is that and doing something. well. or. video was shot so we go. ok on some points you go. oh he's. so you're really good musicians i'm ready happy about this. i mean it's vessels mohanan our national healing zip in such a difficult situation this almost nothing there. and to talk to people about literature and listen to music and also to come from somewhere else and say we

won't get funded by we're with you we want to make this happen and it was a. it was a big part of the motivations of us who were on. the filming 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. this up it was not also a start i believe beethoven also had very strong. i would have liked spoken to him to me change and. he would have seen a coach it quite destroyed. cost would face the hopes she'll be able to make her film soon in the mean time she'll fill her time waiting with beethoven's music. teacher of his on a verse or he has proved many challenges and many performances were cancelled due to the corona virus. but the maestro was still celebrated with fans and

creativity. the beethoven open air concert was one of berlin's summer highlights under the baton of danielle bottom boim the berlin shots cappella performance featured and also female. after recovering from the corona virus the star violinist was happy to be before a live audience streaming streaming is quite nice you can take part in something and lean in peru for example but the life experience being there nothing beats that . beethoven ella giant almost melancholy. but with a rousing conclusion the famous ode to joy i. i. 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 fate of 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 when you guys are. in osaka japan to talk assad who conducts 10000 amateur singers through beethoven's old joy and. since john beck has film 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 south eastern europe to rehearse and old for all. 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 had just so busy. the premier at berlin's his stand 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 von. 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 but 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 of the hash tag beethoven was black swept social media. in the belief goes back more than a century and evidence is standing but many in the black community still celebrate beethoven as one of their own.

3 g.'s followed by any 4 nights that's all it takes the opening motif of these times feel some feel is in crane in a collective memory is sure to be to make friends is the mother of roofs off wrong . in space haven't really one of the godfathers of wrong with it all began with beethoven and chuck berry. a. sarah will sort out some giants of rock to see if they learned their licks from thanksgiving including eternity i'm standing right in front of the very famous peppermint studios where inside the scorpions are rehearsing with the scorpions of germany's most successful hard rock band that's sold over 100000000 albums and performed on stage for 50 years and they're known for their timeless reverse.

saying we germans in particular are influenced by classical music music it's in our genes stick last week so we've been so shaped by it that it's melody and rhythm have left their mark on us briggs 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. infant

we sandra meets a rock legend. ian anderson from jethro tull he's a must. on the. 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 risk did did use that idea and 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 minute was easy to walk on that is this wonderful shuffle thing with a lot of back beat stuff that is called la grange that goes.

from. just centuries 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 this key and that. ian anderson it's clear. stuff. maybe beethoven you see and if he was born again today i don't really see him riding around in the stately family mercedes 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. 30 of the blood that's my idea of a beethoven. was some great big still ringing

in her ear is cyril's continues on her quest to explore more musical questions in heat up a new documentary a world without beethoven. the deja vu documentary is dedicated to the pastoral beethoven 6 symphony in the sound of nature we meet at the composer the key cage. i'm pretty good i'm a musician i'm an environmentalist and for the last few years of dedicated my life through 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 kedge won

a grammy for resolve on 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 admired somewhere in the back of my mind for many many years it's always been there tried to you know make my own word of it or try to view it in my own way and everyone. simply because this would be like pretty much the mother of all compositions when it comes to nature you are just in time for this anniversary year wrote his own version of beethoven's pastoral symphony for a traditional indian ensemble. expressed . myself through indian music so that's why when i had to express myself through video in space really in my new i do not make of aversions of songs very 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 we've got deforestation we've got species extinction we've got the plastics problem. but i would say 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. 6 has gone beyond the monkey and why man this gauntlet in the closet about names.

along the journey of being humans we have forgotten that the odd not the only species on this planet yet just one among millions and millions of species on the planet took one of the top. india is already feeling it 1st they affected by climate change yet the country has been slow to switch to renewable energy sources still protest is growing and mines are being changed. i believe that we as 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 with that in why meant because that is the key to asa why would. a. man.

a turban his hat space 9 for his famous symphonies the 9th was to be followed by the 10th 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. company as though he bit off one eyed you can't tell it out of thin air compose like beethoven on the can that doesn't work against what you can do is to train artificial intelligence like you would a person show it music and provide examples that train the ai then it will be in a position to generate new music in the style of beethoven. international team the

machine with pieces of music and contemporary samples. they can then recognize structures and sequences of notes analyze them and then make its own suggestions. and it's not just beethoven's work that's to be completed with the help of algorithms from schubert's symphony number 8 was finished by ai and made its debut in london and 29 teams. in the same here to start malas now complete not symphony was performed at the us electronica festival in less 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 caught 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 i think 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 superfluity at. this point in 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 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 classical music and of course move beethoven dropping channel detail to classical music and showing and sickly sweet.
