HEROIC MUSIC FOR MOTHER’S DAY
Saturday, May 11, 2013, 8pm
What can be more thrilling than heroic music? Beethoven’s Symphony № 3 (“Eroica” meaning “heroic” in Italian) was the first of his three great so-called heroic symphonies. Beethoven initially dedicated it to Napoleon but then rescinded the dedication. More haunting than heroic, Metamorphosen for 23 Strings echoes strains from the Eroica’s Funeral March; some say the piece is an elegy for Beethoven.
