This year is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven, a name that does not appear very often on the pages of Linkedin. As an artist he is with the gods. As an innovator, disruptor, creative, he is with the Henry Fords and Elon Musks. He can teach us so much. The deaf composer whose music constantly challenges the way we think of form, substance, beauty and our place in the universe. I feel I have a duty to bring him to your attention. Every time I post I will add a link to a piece of his music which you should know, if you don’t already, and which I hope you will enjoy. 


Let’s start with his 5th Symphony, a symphony full of musical quotations from the revolutionary streets of Paris. 

Here is Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s outstanding performance:
