BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37
STRAVINSKY PETRUSHKA
Beethoven’ s early works were influenced by Haydn and Mozart, and he composed Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, based on Mozart’ s music. This is the only one of Beethoven’ s five piano concertos composed in a minor key, and in contrast to the grace and elegance of his early music, this piece is more dramatic and tragic heroic, indicating Beethoven’ s musical creation’ s consistent maturation. On the streets of European countries, the clown in puppetry goes by numerous names, one of which is Petrushka. The puppets in this ballet, including Petrushka, Moors, and dancers, have been filled with souls by magicians. Petrushka is rough and unsophisticated, obsessed with love. He wanted to free his beloved dancer from the Moors, who were also puppets, but he was eventually crushed by his own insane impulses. As one of Russia’ s best composers, Stravinsky infused the musical spirit of this piece like a magician in the play, giving it a distinct presence among Stravinsky’ s three major ballet performances.
