Le tournage du Mooc s’est déroulé principalement dans les salles du Musée du Louvre, mais aussi dans des lieux où résonnait cette musique : Versailles, Port-Royal, etc.

Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Coursera) Coursera

Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Coursera)

Our relationship to Beethoven is a deep and paradoxical one. For many musicians, he represents a kind of holy grail: His music has an intensity, rigor, and profundity which keep us in its thrall, and it is perhaps unequalled in the interpretive, technical, and even spiritual challenges it poses to performers. At the same time, Beethoven’s music is casually familiar to millions of people who do not attend concerts or consider themselves musically inclined. Two hundred years after his death, he is everywhere in the culture, yet still represents its summit. This course takes an inside-out look at the 32 piano sonatas from the point of view of a performer.
