Outstanding loved it put a smile on my face ❤

Wonderful, thank you!

Steve Jobs? Seriously?

Haydn ignored, no mention of Surprise, Drum Roll or London symphonies or of The Creation, all bold, solid pieces of work.

Not a word about his great overtures - 3 Leonoras, Fidelio, Coriolan, Egmont, Consecration Of The House. Leonora #1 so incendiary, it could not be published til after his death - still an EXPLOSIVE piece of music!

Having purchased and consumed nearly everything Dr. Greenberg has done for The Great Courses, I am glad the algorithm sent this my way. He is one of my 3 or 4 favorite lecturers from The Great Courses, and I especially enjoy when he talks about Beethoven. I would absolutely love to be able to hear him lecture in person.

What a fine lecture. Now Mozart.

LOL. "Hotter than Bengay on Sophia Loren"

Brilliant

To read a paper is not the best way to give a conference. Beethoven had a very complex personality which is not explained here. He was not only angry, he suffered a lot, was sometimes very kind and helpful for poor peoples. Where are the quotations of the best german musicologists (Paul Bekker, Hermann Abert, etc) ? The theme of the 5th Symphonie was used in several pieces of music of Joseph Haydn and Mozart. Mozart 's music can't be reduced at die Kleine Nacht Musik, listen the 39th Symphonie in E flat major ! Beethoven was strongly influenced by Joseph Haydn and Mozart.This speech is too superficial.

Excellent.

Thank you. A most enjoyable programme.

lowest level gossip

Bravo!❤🎶❤️🎉🎶❤️

Wow! A super-varied menu! Love it all but particularly cherish the unexpected Arrival of the Queen of Sheba!!!!!

Fantastic! Watching this in February 2024!!!!❤🎉

Thanks for posting this, it has really cheered me up listening to these talented musicians playing these fantastic song’s, and has also reminded me to practice my ukulele more often.

The 5th IS nice!!! No matter what anyone says. My kids like it, you like it, it's nice. Saying beethoven is an angry man is to reductive, he obviously had a wide range of virtues and defects like everyone else. Don't you just hate it when unoriginal, and ordinary men, opinionate about beethoven?!

Lady gaga? 😂 Not even close. Association between gaga music and beethoven is absurd.

Just wonderful. So talented, a total joy. Xx 09.35

Beethoven and Hendrix--the great Saggitarian musicians...

I bet beethoven had an h pylori infection and sibo, and to top it off later...lead poisoning.

Sailing away. Moves me to tears every single time

You all live in such lovely houses...

Always wonderful... thank you Dr. Bob.

he was deaf

Sure, bring out Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. For emotional profundity, try the middle movements of piano concertos like #17 and 22?

NOBODY will see this but with all the stuff going on now this gives me hope

WOWOWOWOW

Very nicely done. Thank you.

When are you all coming to play in Manchester North West England UK

The angriest composer wrote some of the most tender pieces of music - think the slow movements from Symphonies 2, 6 & 9, Piano Concerto 5, Violin Concerto, Piano Sonata 25, Romance 2, for example. And yet, such an angry individual was able to write some of the most uplifting and heroic music. His see-saw temperament was with little doubt a result of his health issues.

Truly wonderful, I had tears in my eyes during Heroes. Thank you!

4:06 what a load of balls! So far All that you say is your personal take? Not facts, they are not facts, just a projection of your personal fantasy.

2:03 how do you know Beethoven was the first? How do you know?

The Fifth is “about “ the fact that he realized that he could develop a complete symphony based on four notes.

Please don't abuse the wonderful language of Shakespeare's plays ..in this case 'the Tempest'. I gave up after that.

This was utterly riveting. I want to hear more by this guy. The Swafford bio was sadly a dull slog in comparison to this talk. Wow. Wow. Wow

That was the most awesome presentation I have ever heard even though his most remarkable works, the piano sonatas, were largely skipped-over.

Of all composers, Beethoven music is most human, not divine like Mozart.

Thank you for an outstanding and witty speach about my lifelong frontrunner ❤

Musicians belong to a special class of people. I love you very much

Excellent selection of classic pop songs an even some classical thrown in. Wonderful...

Good afternoon This instrument is Portuguese and not Hawaiian, it is called "Cavaquinho", it was taken to Haway by the Portuguese where it was renamed "Ukulele", so it should be called "Orquestra de Cavaquinhos" to do justice to the instrument's real name . You can see and hear it if you put in the You Tube search engine: "cavaquinho Kalinka Chico Gouveia", among other songs, just search for songs from "Cavaquinho", you'll see how it sounds. Yours sincerely.

I can't stop watching it again and again. So wonderful.

Well sorry to be grumpy again. Great lecture, but revealing that Beethoven's gastronomical disturbances inspired the 4th really ruins it for me. I'll get it over it...Most of us Beethoven lovers are quite aware of how he weaves the crude and grotesque with beautiful melody. It's really apparent in the choral finale of the 9th. it's how the dance of life is here on earth. Nothing to be ashamed about.

Aw come on! They copywrited over a stupid song like 'Mr. Sandman?' FN Greedy bastards. You'll get yours one day. $$$$$$$ up yer stinkin arses. Great lecture on the world's greatest composer btw.

And as for David Bowies HEROES, so sad to think of him gone but boy did you make a good job,, EXCELLENT.

The Dead south. In Hell I'd be good company is a song you could take on board, it's just up your street.
