The great composer, conductor and teacher Nadia Boulanger said, “A genius can only be original, therefore a genius need only try to imitate in order to be original.” Intended as an homage to his illustrious predecessors Mozart and Haydn, Beethoven’s First Symphony was, inescapably, original.  

NPR & PBS music commentator, conductor, composer, author and pianist Rob Kapilow explores how this symphony – which launched the symphonic career of the young Beethoven in Vienna in 1800 – honored the Viennese tradition in a voice that was unmistakably original and uniquely his own.

Featuring the Manhattan School of Music Chamber Sinfonia
