Beethoven's Fifth

JoAnn Falletta, conductor
George Li, piano

COPLAND Dance Symphony
BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 5 in C minor

Four notes instantly recognizable across generations welcome back the much-loved Symphony No. 5 to the Kleinhans stage. Dance Symphony's rhythmic jazz motifs were drawn from an evocative Copland ballet about a morbid conjurer who could raise the dead and make them dance. Beethoven expands on Mozart's influence in his Piano Concerto No. 1, featuring challenging key changes and bold harmonies.
