Donald Macleod explores Beethoven鈥檚 many house moves in Vienna and asks whether they are a symptom of his dissatisfaction with the city he had come to call home.

It is estimated that Beethoven lived in between 60 and 80 different houses in Vienna, In Tuesday鈥檚 programme, Donald Macleod explores these various house moves, asking whether they might be a symptom of his dissatisfaction with the city he had come to call home.

This week, Donald explores Ludwig van Beethoven鈥檚 life through the years 1807-1809. This was a period that ended with the traumatic second occupation of Vienna by Napoleon鈥檚 forces, and a time when Beethoven himself was feeling increasingly restless in the city after his plans to gain financial stability were thwarted.

Composer of the Week is 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.
