Inside Beethoven: Style, Sound, and the Start of the Challenge

We’re launching the Beethoven Challenge with a live Kickoff Stream to get you set up—and inspired.

We’ll cover:

• Style & interpretation: how to capture Beethoven’s energy, contrasts, and rhetoric.

• Practice strategies: clear approaches for chordal passages, voicing, balance, and control.

• Repertoire ideas for all levels: from approachable Bagatelles to movement-sized sonata goals.

Whether you’re deep into Beethoven or learning your first piece, this is the perfect place to start your journey.

Then, mark your calendar for our Beethoven Watch Party on December 16—his birthday—featuring performances, discussion, and reflections on why this music still hits home.
