09 February 2021 BEETHOVEN OUR CONTEMPORARY. CORIOLAN AND SLENDER GREEK MAIDEN

For the next concert held on the 12th of February at 7 p.m. we invite you to the AMU Concert Hall. The evening will be filled with the music of Ludwig van Beethoven and Poznan Philharmonic Orchestra will be led by Marek Pijarowski.

The opening work, Coriolan Overture, is one of Ludwig van Beethoven’s most often performed overtures. The piece, written and premiered in 1807, is a musical illustration of a play by an Austrian playwright Heinrich von Collin which tells a tragic story of Coriolan, a banished Roman patrician.

In the second part of the concert Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60, will be performed. It was completed in 1806 and premiered a year later in Vienna (along with the Overture… Coriolan). Due to its happier and more carefree character than the preceding Symphony No. 3 and the following Symphony No. 5, Robert Schumann called it a slender Greek maiden between two Nordic giants.
