Tim Gaylard, Professor of Music, presents the first session from Alumni College's "Final Thunder: Beethoven's Late Music." Beethoven, the pivotal composer in musical history, continues to fascinate us despite the two centuries that distance us from his lifetime. Somehow he reaches us emotionally, and his music continues to speak with great power and strength. In 2006 we looked at his entire life and output. This time we will focus on the works of his late period.
