Beethoven's music was controversial. It could be interpreted in two quite extreme ways as very bad or very good, therefore perhaps much more so than other music. It was in need of framing. It needed a kind of protective envelope that could introduce it to new comers so that they would hear it in sympathetic ways. And this is something that Beethoven's patrons were actively involved. They're in...
They would stage improvisation contests, shootouts, I'd like to call them, where each nobleman, aristocrat would sponsor a piano virtuoso and they would set them against each other. One would improvise then the other would have to imitate the tune, improvise on it, then the second one would set a new tune and the first would have to improvise on it. And Beethoven, arrived from Bonn, ill-kempt with this funny Rhineland accent, hair all over the place and he would take on these bewigged befrogged virtuosos and just run them out of town. |
