In particular we explore how rhythm and modulation are used to create drama. Starting with the fast repeated quavers of the opening, this video explains how this drives the energy of the movement in conjunction with the semiquaver runs and other rhythmic features. You will also be taken on Beethoven’s fascinating journey through a panoply of keys, including many unexpected twists and turns. The video offers insight into how this piece works and into how Beethoven writes and also inspires ideas for composers wanting to write with drama and energy.
