Professor Lecture Series: "Klimt's Paintings and Beethoven – The Worldview Depicted in the 'Ninth Symphony'"
Event Category： Courses and Classes (Learn and Listen)
Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony," often heard at the end of the year. Would you like to explore the world of “joy” embedded in its lyrics alongside famous paintings?
At the 1902 Vienna Secession Exhibition, Klimt exhibited the mural "Beethoven Frieze," which was not understood at the time and was criticized. In this lecture, we will reinterpret Schiller's poem "Ode to Joy," the lyrics of the "Ninth Symphony," and together unravel the magnificent worldview where literature, music, and painting intersect.
