SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:AuthorsLive with Matthew Guerrieri
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:In The First Four Notes, music critic Matthew Guerrieri reaches back before Beethoven's time to examine what might have influenced him in writing his Fifth Symphony, and forward into our own time to describe the ways in which the Fifth has, in turn, asserted its influence. He uncovers possible sources in the rhythms of ancient Greek poetry and certain pre-Revolutionary French symphonies. He confirms that, contrary to popular belief, Beethoven was not deaf when he wrote the Fifth. He traces the Fifth's influence in China, Russia and the United States and shows us how it was used by both the Allies and the Nazis in World War II. Altogether, a fascinating piece of musical detective work'a treat for music lovers of every stripe.=0D=0A =0D=0AMatthew Guerrieri is the music critic for The Boston Globe, and his articles have also appeared in Vanity Fair, NewMusicBox, Playbill, and Slate. =0D=0A=0D=0ADoors will open at 6:30 pm.
