Beethoven's Second
Yesterday we heard Beethoven's First Symphony. Today we'll hear its younger brother, the Second, written just two years later. It's a sunny, cheerful work. But it was born amidst the anguish Beethoven was experiencing over his increasing deafness. Plus, two real-life musical siblings: Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff and the Tetzlaff Quartet, in concert in California.
