Money Box
Donald Macleod and Erica Buurman examine some of Beethoven鈥檚 possessions at the Beethoven-Haus museum in Bonn. Today, they focus on his money box.
Donald Macleod visits Beethoven鈥檚 birthplace museum with Erica Buurman to examine Beethoven鈥檚 personal cashbox and talk about his relationship with money and the world of business.
This week, Donald Macleod takes us to Beethoven鈥檚 home town of Bonn and the Beethoven-Haus museum, which now occupies the building where he was born. Donald is joined by Erica Buurman, director of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, and together they explore some of the everyday objects and household artefacts owned by the composer to see what they can tell us about how he lived.
Composer of the Week will be returning to the story of Beethoven鈥檚 life and music throughout 2020. Part of Radio 3鈥檚 Beethoven Unleashed season marking the 250th anniversary of Beethoven鈥檚 birth.
