On March 26, 2025 my campaign Bert over Beethoven will start. It will last until March 26, 2027, the 200th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s death. Two free ebooks, lots of music and information, a two-year celebration for lovers of his genius music. Subscribe to myYouTube channel Bert on Beethoven (see below) and enjoy reading about and listening to music by one of the most genius composers ever.
Beethoven’s music has accompanied me all my life. Early on when doing homework and much later when I started playing keyboard sonatas on the grand piano I spontaneously bought. The way his music touches me deeply has gradually made me more and more curious about the man, his life.
When the biography on Beethoven by Jan Caeyers was published, I became so inspired that I wanted to write a novel, in which the stereotypical image of a gruff grumpy genius, who can build a symphony out of four notes, is extended to the warm-blooded, loyal friend he also was. As I am still learning literature writing, it will take some time for the book to appear. But: it is coming!
On YouTube channel Bert over Beethoven, you will find everything about my project, which runs from 26 March 2025 to 26 March 2027.
