Leonard Bernstein on Beethoven's Symphony No. 1

[@822003]

I have to remind myself every time I watch Maestro Bernstein, that he's been dead for 32 years. He's as fresh & current today as ever before.

❤What an excellent insight - it would’ve been incredible to study with Maestro Bernstein.

thankyou for sharing this 🙂 is there more of this programme? the whole thing maybe? i like this symphony.. does anyone remember an unusual European animation called Ludwig.. it used the music of this symphony as the soundtrack to the programme.. makes me laugh just thinking about it..

I like Beethoven’s 6th and 9th symphonies.

He is giving Beethoven a tiny bit too much credit here. Beethoven was not the first who wrote a scherzo without calling it scherzo. He got the idea from Haydn. He does this in op. 76 ,1 one of his late string quartets. It comes with a Minuet marked "Presto" and it is definately not a Minuet but a Scherzo. Just like the one Beethoven then wrote for this symphony.

You can hear hints of ragtime in there.
