This concert is dedicated to a pivotal transitional period in the history of music: the shift from the Classical to the Romantic era. The programme centres on works by Ludwig van Beethoven and his pupils Ferdinand Ries and Ignaz Moscheles. Beethoven expanded the ideals of the Classical period to include a new expressive freedom, thereby paving the way for Romantic aesthetics. This is clearly reflected in the compositions of his pupils. At the same time, this era marked a period of upheaval for the horn. The natural horn, with its characteristic timbres and distinctive playing techniques, offers an authentic insight into the soundscape of that era and demonstrates just how closely the development of the instruments was linked to the musical innovations of the time.
Horn player Miklós Takács (Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden), accompanied by Mako Kodama on the fortepiano, offers insights into this fascinating transitional period.
