Ludwig van Beethoven, who would actually have celebrated his 250th birthday already in 2021, forms the core of today's program. With his Piano Concerto No. 1, the back then pretty young Ludwig apparently tried to find his own style, inspired by masters like Mozart or Haydn. Did he succeed? Listen and decide for yourself!
