The largest language academy within Vallès Oriental is pleased to provide you with this review, crosswords and contest. Enjoy the film!!! Copying Beethoven – Review In Agnieszka Holland’s fanciful 2006 reimagining of Ludwig van Beethoven’s final years there are surprises aplenty, not least the presence of a talented young copyist named Anna Holtz, who is employed to help the composer finish his famous Ninth Symphony before its first performance. Beethoven and Holtz are played with brio by Ed Harris and Diane Kruger respectively, and the film does a lot to make their relationship feel like something very real, replete with all the volatility and frustration that often exists among those possessed with genius artistic talent. Their initial encounters prove awkward and belittling for Holtz, but Copying Beethoven tells the story of how the two eventually learn to accept, respect and appreciate each other. Perhaps most impressive is how the pair's involvement is arguably never depicted as a romantic one; Holtz is engaged to Martin Bauer (Matthew Goode, in an early role), and although she and Beethoven could be interpreted as sharing a chaste romance, really the film focuses on friendship and a mutual appreciation of art, all against the backdrop of a sumptuously presented 1800s Vienna. Holland has more recently been involved in some of American television’s most critically acclaimed offerings, from The Wire and The Killing to Treme and House of Cards, and her film In Darkness was nominated for Best Foreign Film at the 2011 Academy Awards, representing her native Poland. Copying Beethoven is a little rough around the edges, perhaps, but is sure to reward those with even a passing interest in one of classical music’s most compelling, influential figures. .

A student at the music conservatory, she is recommended for a position at a venerated publisher, and, in a fortuitous turn of events, orchestrates an opportunity to work beside the greatest, most mercurial artist alive – Ludwig van Beethoven (Ed Harris). When the skeptical Beethoven issues an impromptu challenge, Anna demonstrates her competence and musical insight. The maestro accepts Anna as his copyist, beginning a remarkable relationship that will transform both of their lives. Featuring Harris’ remarkable incarnation as the celebrated composer, and a breakthrough performance by Kruger (“Troy,” “National Treasure”), “COPYING BEETHOVEN” centers on the last years of Beethoven’s life…a turbulent period in which his struggles with deafness, loneliness and family trauma provided profound inspiration for arguably the greatest symphony ever written, his astonishing Ninth. Directed by Agnieszka Holland (“Secret Garden,” “Europa, Europa”), the film is a U.K./Hungary co-production produced by Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and Film & Entertainment VIP Medienfonds 2. Sidney Kimmel and Michael Taylor are producing, with Marina Grasic, Andreas Schmid and Andreas Grosch executive producing.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Clàssic I Romàntic
Ludwig van Beethoven: clàssic i romàntic Dra. Magda Polo Pujadas Universitat de Barcelona Ludwig Van Beethoven (Bonn, 1770 – Viena, 1827) -Compositor, director d'orquestra i pianista alemany. -El seu llegat musical es va estendre, cronològicament, des del període clàssic fins a inicis del romanticisme musical. -Considerat l'últim gran representant del classicisme vienès, després de Christoph Willibald Gluck, Joseph Haydn i Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. -Beethoven va aconseguir fer transcendir la música del Romanticisme, motivant-ne la influència en una diversitat d'obres musicals al llarg del segle XIX. -El seu art es va expressar en nombrosos gèneres i encara que les simfonies van ser la font principal de la seva popularitat internacional, el seu impacte va resultar ser molt significatiu en les seves obres per a piano i música de cambra. -Beethoven va publicar durant la seva vida un total de 138 obres i ell mateix en va assignar un nombre d'Opus, entre les quals s'inclouen 9 simfonies, 35 sonates per a piano, 16 quartets de corda, 7 trios, 10 sonates per a violí i piano, 5 concerts per a piano i orquestra, 1 per a violí i orquestra, una òpera (Fidelio) i una gran quantitat de cançons. -Després de la seva mort s'han trobat unes 205 obres més, a les quals se'ls ha assignat una nova numeració WoO "Werke ohne Opuszahl" (Obres sense nombre d'Opus). Una de les més famoses és la seva Bagatelle en La menor "Per a Elisa", WoO 59. La importància de Beethoven en la música clàssica -Per a molts estudiosos i investigadors, Beethoven no només és un gran compositor, sinó el més gran compositor de tots els temps.

Copying Beethoven (Io E Beethoven) Un Film Musicale Di Agnieszka Holland (2006)
FONDAZIONE GIORGIO CINI ONLUS THE LUDWIG VAN PICTURE SHOW n. 22 – 16 agosto 2008 – ore 17 a Palazzo Cini Copying Beethoven (Io e Beethoven) Un film musicale di Agnieszka Holland (2006) Agnieszka Holland Nel 2005 il cinema è tornato a rivolgere la sua attenzione a una delle figure più incisive e affascinanti della storia della musica, Ludwig Van Beethoven, e lo ha fatto attraverso l'opera della regista polacca Agnieszka Holland (vedi foto qui sopra) che vanta una nomination all'Oscar per Europa Europa. Copying Beethoven è basato su un soggetto accattivante e forzatoi di Stephen J. Rivele e Christopher Wilkinson, ed è tutto incentrato su un personaggio d’invenzione: una tale Anna Holtz, incantevole e talentuosa allieva di un immaginario Conservatorio di Vienna che ottiene a dispetto dei pregiudizi sul suo sesso il posto di copista ufficiale presso il grande compositore, il quale è alle prese con la stesura della leggendaria Nona Sinfonia. Incidentalmente, la ragazza si ritrova a fare di tutto: baby sitter, dama di compagnia consigliere e musa privata dell'anziano Beethoven, un uomo, sofferente, rude e intrattabile, feroce e volgare: tanto ruvido che il suo editore lo chiama "la Bestia". Ora, ben si sa che forzature e anacronismi sono tratti irrinunciabili per lo sviluppo delle biopic: essi servono a fornire un ritratto modellato sulle potenzialità di accostamento da parte di un vasto pubblico a personaggi complessi la cui personalità e la cui opera una vita di studi spesso non basta a padroneggiare. Il film della Holland lotta con il rischio di degenerare sempre in una involontaria caricatura, regge e non regge a tratti, a tratti è emozionante, a tratti risibile.
