About
Why does some music last for centuries while other works disappear from view? This debate explores how great music earns its place in history. As the Philharmonia’s Beethoven cycle begins, a panel led by the orchestra discusses how music enters the canon, what defines a masterpiece, and whether there is a formula for creating art that stands the test of time. Beethoven transformed what a symphony could be, continually reinventing musical form and expanding the emotional and expressive possibilities of orchestral music.
