Показать описание

0:05 Beethoven’s rarely performed late Bagatelle in G
1:06 Brief discussion of the bagatelle
2:01 Late Style poses more questions than it answers
3:24 Megalopolis
4:34 Empty cinemas
5:44 Late work is often judged harshly
6:43 We should have more respect for aging artists
7:12 What do you think?
In this short, one-off video, Matthew King plays a rarely performed late Beethoven Bagatelle and discusses the curious phenomenon of Late Style, when artists, in their later years, move beyond their own orthodoxy and embrace mystery and experimentalism in their final works. Matthew then reflects on his recent experience of watching the 84-year old Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis in an empty cinema, and asks some questions about the future of creativity and the curious deluge of hostility that has greeted the film, comparing this general critical negativity with similarly dismissive attitudes to late work in the past.
Beethoven: Bagatelle in G major (from the 1826 Diabelli edition of Op. 119)
Pianist: Matthew King
