Abigail Richardson-Schulte\, HPO Composer- in-Residence\, presents a fascinating look into the lives and music of com posers featured on the HPO stage.
\nIn this talk\, Richardson-Schult e discusses the &ldquo\;two Bs&rdquo\; of the world&rsquo\;s most famous c omposers\, Beethoven and Brahms\, who found their way to Vienna seventy ye ars apart. Beethoven composed in the Classical era\, while Brahms composed in the Romantic era. Their paths couldn&rsquo\;t have been more different \, though they were both legendary pianists.
\nBeethoven performed h is way through royal living rooms to build his network and career\, though butted heads with Royals along the way. The unknown Brahms was thrown int o the limelight by being "discovered\," but made a mistake by taking on th e musical celebrity of the day\, Franz Liszt. Following their own paths\, not trends of the day\, led both Beethoven and Brahms to become pinnacles of their eras of music.
