Music in the Industrial Revolution

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we’re diving into a fascinating period of change: the Industrial Revolution, and how it transformed music, instruments, and the very sound of the concert hall. The Industrial Revolution, spanning roughly from the mid-18th to the 19th century, was a time of dramatic change. Factories replaced workshops, trains shrank distances, and cities swelled with workers. But it wasn’t only industry and economics that evolved—music, too, was reshaped by this era of invention and mass production.

Stagione 4

Using Beethoven as a transition into the Romantic Era

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we have somewhat of a special episode, based solely on opinions that are backed up by facts. As I mentioned in our last 3 episodes about Beethoven, he sits right on that historical fence between the Classical and Romantic periods, and musicologists love to argue about where he really belongs. So, today’s big question is: Is Ludwig van Beethoven a Classical era composer, or does he truly belong to the Romantic era? Instagram Results: classical 54%/romantic 46%

Ludwig van Beethoven Part 3: Late Period

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! We have reached the final episode about Ludwig van Beethoven today. We’ve learned thus far that Beethoven’s career is often divided into three creative phases: the Early Period, inspired by Haydn and Mozart; the Middle Period, defined by heroic, bold works such as the Eroica Symphony; and finally, the Late Period, which is our focus today. Music mentioned in this episode: Late String Quartets Opuses 127, 130, 131, 132, 133, and 135: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YytQEjYRdUI&list=PLO6zBTEo45QhwK0K1NWmIDesKrduHficv Piano Sonatas Opuses 109, 110, 111: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRX3TFLA67E Symphony No. 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IqnVCc-Yqo Missa Solemnis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Yy0gSt-JE

Ludwig van Beethoven Part 2: Middle Period

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we continue our chat about Beethoven with a discussion on his middle period. This period, often called the “Heroic” period, stretches from about 1803 to 1814. It marks the time when Beethoven transformed from a Classical composer into a revolutionary artist who redefined what music could do. Music mentioned in this episode: Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, "Eroica": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kSrLK7Eems Symphony No. 5 in c minor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKl4T5BnhOA Symphony No. 6 in F major, "Pastoral": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HbBURnt9f4 Sonata No. 17, Op. 31 No. 2 "Tempest": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXDWRm-PU1Q Sonata No.21 in C major, "Waldstein": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbblMw6k1cU Sonata No. 23 in f minor "Appassionata", Op. 57: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QImFm4Y_QPM&t=6s Piano Concerto No. 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FxT-llXZfI Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgYA8I92ykw Violin Sonata No. 9 "Kreutzer": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8Yp3WqKN_I Cello Sonata No. 3 in A major: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjiIUOKUJpk

Ludwig van Beethoven Part 1: Early Period

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we are going to start talking about a new composer, and it’ll be our final composer of the classical era. This composer is very interesting; I mentioned earlier in the season how up until I started studying for my DMA comprehensive exams last summer, I always thought of Beethoven as a classical composer. However, it seems that he is more likely to be grouped into an early romantic composer rather than a classical composer. Hopefully, in the next 3 episodes, we can figure out together why that exactly is! Today, we are going to look at the first of 3 periods in Beethoven's compositional output. This is the early period. Let’s get started! Music mentioned in this episode: Sonata No. 1, Op. 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te6GILsxcoQ Sonata No. 2, Op. 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1g4tFxdsi8 Piano Concerto No. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY7PKtpistE Piano Concerto No. 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxXtsRkTj-I String Quartets Op. 18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbBmH9mj2R0 Symphony No. 1 in C Major: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A41fuD3dUA
