Ludwig van Beethoven
Season 2Episode 130 minnov. 5, 2004
Mark Steel turns up the volume on Beethoven with his tribute to a man
who was the nearest eighteenth-century Vienna got to not only Jimi
Hendrix, but also Captain Sensible. Unflinchingly exposing Ludwig’s
anger management issues and his dependence on Ceefax’s 888 subtitle
service, Mark Steel sets Beethoven in his revolutionary context and
reveals the quirks of his character the history books gloss over.
Taking in the revolutionary nature of the Freemasons, Haydn’s
contractual similarity to Prince, Beethoven’s unusual fondness for
semi-hemidemisemiquavers and his love-hate relationship with
Napoleon, The Mark Steel Lectures once again combines unique
reconstructions with inventive graphics to bring Beethoven right up
to the minute.
