VIDEO: Introducing Beethoven Walks
It is indeed, as if every tree in the countryside spoke to me, saying “Holy! Holy!” In the forest enchantment! Who can express it all?
(from Beethoven’s sketchbook marginal notations of 1815 or 1816)
Beethoven Walks is a project begun during our collective isolation, serving a universal need to better understand our humanity through music and the beauty of our world.
These walks incorporate reproductions of Beethoven’s sketches, or leaves from his autograph manuscripts, connecting those walking the path with Beethoven’s music, his creative process, and the inspiration he drew from nature.
These walks open in honor of Beethoven’s 250th birthday, and are dedicated to the world his music shows us is possible.
