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.
