Music and Literature
Season 2025 Episode 298 | 59m 26s
This week, solo and chamber works that were inspired by literature and poetry.
When thinking about musical compositions inspired by literature, Shakespeare often comes to mind, and with good reason. Beethoven and Bonis both wrote works inspired by “The Bard”, and we'll hear three of them tonight along with a work by Elwood inspired by quite a different type of literature.
