Kawai Piano Prices: Famous Composers - Ludwig Van Beethoven (1996) Review

I purchased the dvd for my 5 year old son who loves classical music. The content was above his level and there was not much in the way of actual music pieces being performed, but the information and content was very interesting on an adult level. The optional part of the specific musical compositions was also interesting, but didn't perform pieces of music individually. Overall this is a good 35 minutes for someone who wants to know about the artist, but not something I would watch over and over again.

Product Description:
One of the greatest masters of music, Beethoven is particularly admired for his orchestral works, including symphonies, concertos, sonatas, and chamber music. His early work until 1802, show a progressive master of the high classical style of Haydn and Mozart. A general growth in the proportions and rhetorical power of Beethoven's worked in the period 1798-1802 culminates in the highly dramatic compositions that mark the birth of Romanticism in music. The late period, during which he grew deaf, marked a change from dramatic to introspective-inspired music. The highly expressive music Beethoven produced, infused with a sense of his own struggles to overcome adversity, for centuries has inspired composers like Brahms, Mendelssohn, and Wagner, and continues to do so today.
