and beethoven was born 250 years ago involving a musical genius who became one of the most famous classical composers who time the anniversary of his heavens the disintegration was basically i think doug and cotton of the beethoven and if a stray society. on this edition costs 21 we ask why does page book and still leave us but accounts for his in june feel about this we want to find out . what is hoping. an eccentric genius beethoven as portrayed by ed harris. gary oldman beethoven was more dishevelled even confused. i'm back i'm back

i'm tobias' my 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 yano 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 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 oh all the stereotypes that we thought about beethoven and these famous. images of bears are 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 done and. to be in a roan's of the bunch of them to learn to do rude 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 immortal.

and each of them builds bridges st lucie captivation people will fill it up including the middle east we tend to do any special project in fact to. the director of custom and faced it 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 have than 2020 celebrations of the plan was to stage good has a long and not enough to seek to 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 feature of the

also directed the filming over the internet the play itself is about a battle for freedom that ends in failure the director divided it into separate scenes 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. the neatest was odd and down and also his sincerity in a way and it was when i listen to beethoven i feel good and. i also feel free i'm moved by the music i'm not carried away this is kind of miles and an hour from the money there's nothing manipulative about his music it's brilliant suspicious of freedom. ringback 'd for the iraqi musicians and performers the long distance

collaboration was also a new experience. but it gave them strength during a difficult time. being locked down for a few months doing nothing really hard it was harder than working. so my energy. and doing something. was well. or. video was shot so we go. ok on some points it got going oh. well. so you're really good musicians i'm really happy about this. and you need to vessels mohanan on national things it in 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 want

. to make this happen and. it was a big part of our motivation. 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 was not also just i believe beethoven also had very strong. i would have liked spoken to him to meet him and. he would have seen a coach it like this through. past would face the hopes she'll be able to make her film soon in the meantime she'll fill her time waiting with beethoven's music. teacher of his anniversary he has proved many challenges and many performances were cancelled due to the coronavirus. of the maestro was still celebration with fans

and creativity. the beethoven open air concert was one of berlin's summer highlights under the baton of danielle battling boy the berlin staatskapelle a performance featured and sophie motor. after recovering from the corona virus the star violinist. happy to be before a live audience streaming streaming is quite nice you can take passion something invented in peru for example but the life experience being day nothing beats that. beethoven ella jayate almost melancholy. but with a rousing conclusion the famous ode to joy i have. 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 think that the. film in 8 different countries the documentary features composers conductors and musicians. in spain in a company's young people with hearing impairments as they feel their way toward beethoven would are either ready in osaka japan cut the sato conducts 10000 amateur singers through beethoven's only to join and then i. think 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 ode for all. the 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 you know the luxury of time is for us amazing because we are just so busy. the premiere at berlin's system could only take place digitally but next year they hope to go on tour. in june d.w. streamed live the programme of the beethoven anniversary society from the beethoven house and vaughan. the centerpiece was the 6th symphony the pastoral which

musically depicts the composer's love of nature then 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 slept social media. the belief goes back more than a century and evidence his stand but many in the black community still celebrate beethoven as one of their own.

and as the anniversary draws to a close an italian man plowed a very special monument to beethoven next year and 2021 the celebrations will continue with fresh highlights including the beethoven fest bomb. the anniversary date of you has produced 3 major talking mantras a world without faint hope it explores how the great composer left his mom. and rock music. sara willis is a frenchman playing with the bun in fillmore nick in this anniversary she asks what would our world sound like without beethoven and searches the world france's. 3 g.'s followed by any 4 nuts that's all it takes the opening motif of the

chimes 5th symphony is in crane in memory is shorter than make friends is the mother of roofs off abruptly soon is based over really one of the godfathers of rock we did it all began with beethoven and chuck berry. sarah will sort out some giants of rock to see if they learned their licks from thanksgiving including in canada i'm standing right in front of the very famous peppermint studios where inside the scorpions are rehearsing with the scorpions a germany's most successful hard rock band have sold over 100000000 albums and performed on stage for 50 years and then known for their tongue less wrists.

cygwin germans in particular are influenced by classical music music and it's in our genes the classic so we've been so shaped by it that it's melody. and rhythm have left their mark on us grades and. lessons they know if you have to find something that sends out a signal well that's a really important point and then you have to hold on to that tension by the kind of. infant where santa meets

a rock legend. ian anderson from jethro tull he's a must rousing rock treats 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 risk to have been 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 it was easy top one that is this wonderful shuffle saying that a lot of back beat stuff that is called la grange should go.

just centuries it's really 3 notes and in many ways you know it's that same thing was the wonderful whole. love which is in the whiskey and that. ian anderson it's clear. was a bright star. maybe beethoven you see and if he was born again today i don't really see him riding around in the stately family for safety's 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 here is sarah willis continues on her quest to explore more musical questions in heat up a new documentary a world without beethoven. on the job the documentary is dedicated to the pastoral beethoven sea symphony in the sound of nature we meet up with 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 for to the sole purpose of creating an environment of 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 admired somewhere in the back of my mind for many many years it's always been there try to you know make my own words you know of it are trying to attribute 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. 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 my new i do not make of emotions of songs very often in

fact it's extremely there but in this case it was very very natural for me to do it . with his pastoral project he wants to take a stand for nature since india has huge environmental concerns starting with 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 see that the biggest issue in india is the part that everybody has that somebody else will make a difference. ricky cadge is a man on a mission and one who inspires the masses. 6 has gone beyond the call the enlightenment is gone out of the closet about name children.

along the journey of being humans we have forgotten that we are not the only species on this planet good just one among millions and millions of species on the planet took you on a list of all top thanks indeed is already being adversely affected by climate change that the country has been slow to switch to renewable energy sources still protest is growing and minds 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 all of. the why with. each version 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 just now after 200 years the unfinished work is finally supposed to be completed using algorithms but is a i created enough. company as a wee bit awful and you can't tell it out of thin air compose my. beethoven long that doesn't work 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 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 sunshine and international team feeds the machine with pieces of music and contemporary samples. that can then recognize structures and sequences of notes symphony number 8 was finished by ai and made its debut in london in 2019. in the same here do stuff mama's now complete not symphony was performed at the us electronica festival in this austria. often it was impossible to tell who wrote what. order 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 his recent encounter that it's a bit of a hodgepodge mainly because you don't sense there's any direction it's not so what i said this is how it needs to continue i think so if i took. the whole thing to the machine couldn't figure that out because it doesn't think or feel a i offer plenty of inspiration but hasn't made human superfluities yet. and many phases of this project man and machine work together that's was all we aim to show that the cooperation between creative technology and creative people can creates by. well 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 for dissipative an anniversary edition on what's trying to block classical music and of course more beethoven drop him on you tube channel details classical music and showing him sitting next week.
