Beethoven's Grosse Fuge in Rome

Experience one of Beethoven's most monumental late works, the Grosse Fuge, performed in Rome. This immense double fugue, originally the finale of his String Quartet No. 13, was composed when Beethoven was completely deaf and is now regarded as a pinnacle of his achievement.

Attendees can expect a powerful and complex musical journey, as the piece challenges both performers and listeners with its length and intricate structure. The performance will showcase the work's "sometimes free, sometimes learned" character, a subtitle Beethoven himself gave to this groundbreaking composition.

This concert offers a rare opportunity to hear a work that was once considered incomprehensible but has since been celebrated as one of the greatest fugues ever written.
