Beethoven in Manuscript: Sources for the Late Quartets
In 2024, SJSU’s Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies acquired two important Beethoven manuscripts connected with the composer’s late string quartets. These sources tell a compelling story about the life of the now profoundly deaf composer as he worked on some of his most challenging and hauntingly beautiful music. This event will present these sources to the public for the first time in a lecture-performance at 2:00pm.
This is a FREE event, registration required.
