As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth in December 2020, violinist and president of Beethoven-Haus Bonn Daniel Hope talks about why Beethoven matters today. From striking out on his own path to fighting through the isolation that his deafness would cause, Beethoven remains a singular figure in the history of music.
