Springtime Songs
Composers in the past and present have been and continue to be inspired by nature — and especially the changes in nature that occur with the seasons. In celebration of spring, we are taking a closer look at some famous songs in classical music inspired by the season of spring.
In this episode, you’ll learn…
- About a composer’s most well-known work, inspired by the seasons
- How Beethoven’s violin sonata was given a nickname after he died — and why we think he’d be okay with the nickname
- How a dramatic lead up to marriage sparked a creative period for a prominent Romantic period composer
