Description :

In concert at the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival, the Borromeo String Quartet will play Beethoven’s Op. 59, No. 3, one of Beethoven’s most beloved quartets. In discussion, Nicholas Kitchen will lead the audience through this remarkable music by sharing with them the music as written in Beethoven’s own hand. Looking at Beethoven’s manuscripts is always fascinating. Immediately upon looking at the hand-written document it is evident the many choices that Beethoven made. Kitchen will point out the options he considered and guess together with the listeners why Beethoven made the choices that he did. These are marks that Beethoven used in exactly the same form for the last 25 years of his life and they fill the manuscripts of almost all of his most famous pieces. Enjoy the Borromeo Quartet as they explore these layers in their concert and hear Nicholas Kitchen delve into many emotionally rich markings in the manuscript in his discussion, and see each of the pages written by Beethoven himself.
