Revolution in the Air
Suzy Klein explores musical revolutions, focusing on Paris and Vienna, and composers from Mozart to Schoenberg. Is it a blessing or a curse for musicians to live in revolutions?
As we embark on a new decade, Suzy Klein single-handedly mans the musical barricades, and gives some thought to revolutions - musical ones. Vienna is one flash-point, as composers from Mozart to Schoenberg discard the old and usher in the new. Paris, no stranger to political and cultural disquiet, features too; and Suzy asks whether it has been a blessing or a curse for composers and musicians to live in 'interesting times'.
