    Elaine Fitz Gibbon »Beethoven und Goethe blieben die Embleme des kunstliebenden Deutschlands, für jede politische Richtung unantastbar und ebenso als Chiffren manipulierbar« (Klüppelholz 2001, 25-26). “Beethoven and Goethe remained the emblems of art-loving Germany: untouchable for every political persuasion, and likewise, as ciphers, just as easily manipulated.”1 The year 2020 brought with it much more than collective attempts to process what we thought were the uniquely tumultuous 2010s. In addition to causing the deaths of over two million people worldwide, the Covid-19 pandemic has further exposed the extraordinary inequities of U.S.-American society, forcing a long- overdue reckoning with the entrenched racism that suffuses every aspect of American life. Within the realm of classical music, institutions have begun conversations about the ways in which BIPOC, and in particular Black Americans, have been systematically excluded as performers, audience members, administrators and composers: a stark contrast with the manner in which 2020 was anticipated by those same institutions before the pandemic began. Prior to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, they looked to 2020 with eager anticipation, provoking a flurry of activity around a singular individual: Ludwig van Beethoven. For on December 16th of that year, Beethoven turned 250. The banners went up early. In 2019 on Instagram, Beethoven accounts like @bthvn_2020, the “official account of the Beethoven Anniversary Year,” sprang up. The Twitter hashtags #beethoven2020 and #beethoven250 were (more or less) trending. Prior to the spread of the virus, passengers flying in and out of Chicago’s O’Hare airport found themselves confronted with a huge banner that featured an iconic image of Beethoven’s brooding face, an advertisement for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming complete cycle Current Musicology 107 (Fall 2020) ©2020 Fitz Gibbon.

  • Beethoven, Bonn and Its Citizens
    Beethoven, Bonn and its citizens by Manfred van Rey The beginnings in Bonn If 'musically minded circles' had not formed a citizens' initiative early on to honour the city's most famous son, Bonn would not be proudly and joyfully preparing to celebrate his 250th birthday today. It was in Bonn's Church of St Remigius that Ludwig van Beethoven was baptized on 17 December 1770; it was here that he spent his childhood and youth, received his musical training and published his very first composition at the age of 12. Then the new Archbishop of Cologne, Elector Max Franz from the house of Habsburg, made him a salaried organist in his renowned court chapel in 1784, before dispatching him to Vienna for further studies in 1792. Two years later Bonn, the residential capital of the electoral domain of Cologne, was occupied by French troops. The musical life of its court came to an end, and its court chapel was disbanded. If the Bonn music publisher Nikolaus Simrock (formerly Beethoven’s colleague in the court chapel) had not issued several original editions and a great many reprints of Beethoven's works, and if Beethoven's friend Ferdinand Ries and his father Franz Anton had not performed concerts of his music in Bonn and Cologne, little would have been heard about Beethoven in Bonn even during his lifetime. The first person to familiarise Bonn audiences with Beethoven's music at a high artistic level was Heinrich Karl Breidenstein, the academic music director of Bonn's newly founded Friedrich Wilhelm University. To celebrate the anniversary of his baptism on 17 December 1826, he offered the Bonn première of the Fourth Symphony in his first concert, devoted entirely to Beethoven.

  • SESSION EIGHT November 3, 2016 BEETHOVEN the MAN Last Years Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, Old Age Should Burn and Rave
    SESSION EIGHT November 3, 2016 BEETHOVEN THE MAN Last Years Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. So wrote the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, in the 20th century’s most famous poem about the end of life. Rage is a word often used to describe Beethoven. Gentle is not a word used to describe him, and he did not go gently. Two weeks ago, in Session 6, we observed the great surge in Beethoven’s popularity in his early and mid-forties: more performances, more publishers vying for his works, and a soaring income from performances, sales, royalties, and annuities. This was soon followed by a major decline in the popularity of his music and in his income. BEETHOVEN IN 1823 This sympathetic but realistic portrait at age 53 suggests that the continuous pain and discomfort Beethoven suffered contributed to his decline in composing, along with worsening health and behavior. WORSENING BEHAVIOR Accompanying these declines was a marked decline in his health and behavior. In grief over the death of his brother Carl, Beethoven turned to anger, and a prolonged, expensive and ultimately futile attempt to gain legal control of his nephew, also named Karl after his Father, from the influence of what he considered an immoral and uncaring Mother. This vendetta against his sister-in-law was only one of many signs of Beethoven’s increasingly erratic behavior. Franz Grillparzer, Beethoven’s long- time friend who would eventually deliver the eulogy at Beethoven’s funeral, remained

The composer spent the first two decades of his life here, became a professional musician in this city and absorbed here the impulses and ideas of the Enlightenment that shaped his later creative output, too. To this extent, it is logical that Bonn is preparing to celebrate Beethoven with a kind of “Cultural Capital Year” to mark his 250th birthday. In this special year, opportunities have been cre- ated in abundance to engage with the “great mogul,” as Haydn called him. There is still more to be discovered in his music, as in his life, too. In this sense, a symposium that approaches the phenomenon of Beethoven from the music-medicine perspective represents an additional and necessary enrichment of the anni- versary year. When I began my tenure as artistic director of the Beethoven- feste Bonn in 2014, I set out to bring forth something that was always new, special and interdisciplinary.
