En Reprise - Beethoven 2 X 4




For Your Listening Pleasure show

Summary: [Project 366 Listener Guide #30] This montage features two symphonies and two overtures by Beethoven. The symphonies have a common thread: Count Franz von Oppersdorff, a relative of Beethoven's patron, Prince Lichnowsky. The Count met Beethoven when he traveled to Lichnowsky's summer home where Beethoven was staying. Von Oppersdorff listened to Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 in D Major, and liked it so much that he offered a great amount of money for Beethoven to compose a new symphony for him, which became his fourth.
