Description

Join Professor Gil Harel for a lively lecture on Beethoven’s iconic Fifth Symphony, where we’ll unpack how its iconic “da-da-da-DUM” motif, with its relentless rhythmic drive and seismic tonal shifts, shattered classical norms and redefined symphonic drama. We’ll explore how Beethoven’s bold orchestration and emotional intensity turned C minor into a revolutionary battle cry that still grabs us by the soul. Expect insights, a dash of humor, and perhaps a chance to conduct the famous transition to the finale!
