The guy on the plane. Beethoven. Because he was born here correct. What did he do your music maybe you have a melody in your head now you. Ok all right go ahead what is that i dont know i mean its one of the symphonies but theres a ninth that is even more popular sing it for me. Ok i mean. Do do do do do do do do yeah yeah right and theres another one for. The for. Today i want to find out what bond has to offer in connection with the legendary in the old town along the river and in a ballroom dating back to the great mans time the composer spent the first twenty two years of his life here in boston. On todays show we find out what else there is to do in book. We check out the celebrations for b. Top two hundred Fiftieth Anniversary in twenty twenty. And we go to vienna where the two of you worked after his time in. Number twenty beatles and was born in this house in Seventeen Seventy here you can learn almost everything about him from his success as a child prodigy to the great dramas of his life the unfortunate relationships and his loss of hearing. My to the director of the beatles the host explains the most important stage of the most of what was beatles childhood like he lived in this house for the first four years of his life. And grew up in a whole family of musicians his grandfather was the music director for the prince electors court in bonn so we had the chance to meet all of the bands most important musicians through his family they were frequent guests in the beethoven home. And if course in a family that was so musical placed great value one would become a musical career. And it was the. Next topic beatles and romance many of us compositions are dedicated to women for example to release it. Is known as a womanizer but women. Did play a role in his life and who exactly was ill easy. We dont know that for sure because the dedication of the original copy isnt specific. So there are different theories being one of the most significant things about his livelihood is that he devoted himself entirely to music and never married in its own kind of somebody. He looks pretty grumpy we had us when the all you would do in his position in the end of the twenty one this is namely that post was modeled on a cast that was done live with a plaster mask and again they would cover the entire face with plaster thats going to go to first stick to strong as into his nostrils so he could breathe. And in a situation like that you might have looked a bit tense yourself. But its about its authentic portrait thats been handed down to us and that allows us to show visitors how we look to people at the time and that was twelve when he was forty two years old if i have. Yet to mention about. This it looks like a big soup students. What a short area with many visitors dollars and thats another major factor in beethovens life his hearing loss you mention about which i think the question that especially fascinates people about beethoven is how could somebody who couldnt hear create such great music. When he said it and he was barely thirty years old and in first they tried to help him by constructing hearing aids these were basically funnels that would condense the sound in directed into his ear and you can see how they developed. And the more hearing he lost the bigger these aids got. Was i wouldnt. Have smitten with the thing how does it work how can you hear with it. Try it on the average down here weve got a replica. This is a long lesson students are brass instrument he would put the aid on is this sort of like a hair band and then whoever he was talking to a good speaking here. Than there to space but not to sound to you or go through pain. It would make edith its so loud. Every september a huge festival is dedicated to beethoven it features both established stars and promising Young Artists but above all the visitors to the beatles the first one can soak up the Awesome Energy that Classical Music still exudes to this day. One speed of interest is a major and highly prestigious Classical Music festival every september over fifty concerts featuring the main program alone naturally that includes music by luke big and beethoven. Twenty seventeen for instance spanish pianist javier pouty honest played the fourth piano concerto. Of course playing in the in the city like born and playing beethoven is something very special and that should be because it means a lot for their for their missions to play in the safety and dad where he was born beethoven. Was twenty seventeen was the elected speaker to interest her daughter bella organized a public viewing on bonds mark plot square. This was the box. Wonderful to have this in bonn i brought him along he comes from iran and i just wanted to show them the beethoven festival here very good seeing its like. Its was a really good i like. This vincent this in the guns should use ok. I think its nice that you can bring along your camping chairs and enjoy the whole thing in a completely different atmosphere. As opposed to open faced media partner georgia vendor invited some prominent chemists every year the beethoven first store rector nico wagner spotlights a new slogan and twenty seventeen it was about unfulfilled desire. To help is everyone knows beethoven had a hard time when it came to love he never found happiness with a family of his own he had his Long Distance affairs with his aristocratic piano students he wasnt always unhappy. Beethoven home groups of the theme is biographical. But it also allows us to hold a festival under the general slogan of love to leave. The perfect slogan to bring people closer to the music of beethoven at this years public viewing of the beethoven fest. Church is another setting off between these childhood it would have sounded Something Like this in the seventeen eighteen. The young beatles and used to play by. The whole sheet is a professor at the university of which this church now belongs to. You know i have this image in my head of a lit. The guy on the organ with the whole church packed with people didnt they take him seriously. By beautiful and because you have to remember that beethoven was like a child star to us the ladies in waiting thought he was really cute because he was so young but played so well wishers all was destroyed people were kind of proud that they had such a talented year and the central its the im here is all i need to come to. Visitors to will find out that its the tractions are limited to bring two of them there are plenty of other sites too for starters one was the capital of west germany for forty one years during the cold war. Several International Institutions have settled in the former government quarter of the x. West german capital among them is the United Nations campus in germany. Breakneck stored talk to the left produces its programs in many languages for broadcast the world over.

Fifty two of the orchestra is also a Major Institution in bonn they rehearse here in the auditorium of the university. Dick cuffed on has been the conductor since summer two thousand and seventeen aircraft are must but what does the beatles mean to you beethoven is a driving force for us because its in our name up there that beethoven orchestra is and gone is beethoven sitting on his beethoven stuff but its a blessing and a curse having such a tired man your name but of course a big advantage of beethoven is that the name has so many positive connotations and i think these are nominal gonski opposer to fulfill been wouldnt become a. Beatles music has been around for so long how do you create something new is something you havent heard before thats what you are. You know if youd only were. If you dont just commemorate and reappear him the whole time this is from look i want to what you have to take him down off the bed stone and understand him as an energy is a source of inspiration and loyalists and he was always looking to discover something new and looking forwards to give new ideas and new music a chance to play a guy system and thats gauged with the intellectual movements of the time to create a better world of stuff and thats a listen thats all part of beethoven and its a tool of opportunities. In the. Part of preserving b two of his legacy is also to perform lists well known pieces like this symphony by beatles a student for the ninetys. Back to being he was born here and born in seventeen hundred seventeen so in two thousand and twenty he would have turned two hundred fifty and bets and anniversary that deserves to be celebrated in style a whole year long a major event that you can already get a taste of now s. Chuck berry certainly not think rock n roll beethoven. Many people who try to modernize the interpretation of a tell tale with varying degrees of success. To begin a verse or hear of twenty twentieths to pare this logo. For now and hamburg Advertising Agency created the mogul with help from experts on. Mice and. Most people primarily associate beethoven with just the ninth symphony but theres. Much more than that this is our hope is that the logo reflects this diversity and that other people will fill it in with other music perhaps or other content we want the logo to become famous worldwide as the beethoven brandos throughout twenty twenty and beyond because. The idea for the logo came from tell me what underlies harvey. Is a patron of the arts and an advertising expert he was confident that a contemporary logo would help give beethoven a modern image that. He could do that today where you get to so beethoven because this is about beethoven about Magnificent Music and about beethoven the innovators who called time out someone who looked to the future just see this is the objective we hope to achieve through a logo or. The origins of this logo lie with beethoven himself the only modern abbreviation can be found in some of his original scores and it was the inspiration for the new logo a signature in the style of a text message with no vowels. The ambition for the anniversary year two thousand and twenty is to make the new logo a familiar sight all over the world. Another between states you can be found in bold stuck up in pocket im here with chris john lance who is the artistic director off b t h e n four a hold here in the run up to beatles anniversary on december seventeenth twenty twenty there will be a variety of concerts exhibitions and festivals. And once as the artistic director. Im sure you can tell me whats happening in twenty twenty five. The be there for anything you could say bt h. P. N. Is our d. N. A. Its what guides us based on these five letters that stand for beethoven weve come up with five themes being stevie stands for bon beethoven he stands for tone counsellor which is german for musician how that of course is the main focus especially interesting as h. That stands for beethoven the you missed the values of the french revolution liberty equality and fraternity were important to him and he puts them across in his music the stands for visionary beethoven always broke the boundaries that is the format composition in his time and shape the creativity of the future and now if we can take food and stands for beethoven as a friend of nature. Beethoven saw it inspiration and peace in nature essentially from a romantic perspective. And the United NationsClimate Change secretariat located here in bonn gives us a Reference Point for highlighting the question of humankind and nature from beethovens perspective and of course with a view to the future to begin with through comfortable went bust but the end what does the beatles mean to you personally you know what was from that mind of the grandchildren has been with me since i was a child ive always been interested in this music and especially the ideas in this utopia of a better world a better coexistence for humankind than the evil that i hear that and his music get it working for that and presenting it to other people is something that gives me great joy. Because if i did. Time to leave the city the rhine will take me to another important location and i can also see the river and the nearby hill range give me a tool to enjoy the landscapes around this region. The end of beatles and story in one begins to a certain extent in but go to spec met one of his musical idols jules if i hadnt in the ballroom that he do which. Is still fun bulliest who now hires out the formal ballroom for events shows me where they met maybe you can transport him back in time what was it like in the eighteenth century when it was here. Music was a tone i was employed where the prince the lectern had done and he performed on it and had a regular salary i have to begin with he was a haydn day here as if i hadnt met beethoven in the redo. That haydn had been invited to visit on his return trip from london and the elector wanted to show him the finished we do want to have even then when i came beethoven told him about his composition. I had hired and told him to come to vienna and he would help his career along. Today we said that was when he was discovered that all had been touted as. His all. Before. After that beatle fan went to vietnam. As i cant be in vienna at the same time we asked an expert from austria to show you the most important beethoven related locations in the composers adopted hometown vienna.

He writes bear in mind that for six years ive been afflicted with an incurable condition his deafness took him outside society it prevented him from taking part in conversations and here he really expressed his desperation i know if youre here to last look at it.
