The Beethoven Effect celebrates the enduring influence of the great composer. Our current guest curator is violinist Itzhak Perlman, who’s chosen his favorite Beethoven pieces to listen to and perform. “Beethoven was an innovator harmonically, rhythmically, and a master of musical and dramatic intensity,” he tells Apple Music. “In other words, without Beethoven, classical music would not exist as we know it.” Throughout 2020, The Beethoven Effect will be regularly updated by new curators—if you like a piece, add it to your library.
