Quick Wrap - Classical Corner
We're celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Leonard Bernstein! Mark started the Corner by reading from Bernstein's script from the 1950s and '60s TV series Omnibus. It was on Beethoven's 5th Symphony, and is found in the book The Joy of Music. And, coordinating with this script, today we are also celebrating 24 Beethoven's 248th birthday!
Mark told us that for this 1954 episode, Bernstein had the entire first page of Beethoven's 5th painted on the stage, with all of the instruments' individual lines painted out -- with the actual musician of their respective instruments on the front of their line! Mark then read the script as it was read on the show. And, as the pièce de résistance, Mark played the piano version, Franz List's, 1st moment of Beethoven's 5th.
