What makes a genius like Beethoven, nature or nurture? Why is Beethoven's music so embracive to different interpretations? How can we re-assess Beethoven's life and music in the 21st century? Does his preference in the genre of music (preference for sympathy over opera, for example)  reveal something about his personality and aesthetics? Craig M. Wright, the Henry L. and Lucy G. Moses Professor of Music Emeritus at Yale University, will share his view about Beethoven and art history.
