By the summer of 1809, Napoleon’s French forces, at war with Austria for the fourth time in eighteen years, reached the suburbs of Vienna. “Nothing but drums, cannons, human misery of every sort!” wrote Beethoven to his publisher in Leipzig.

One of the treasures of the Library's collection of composers' autographs is the manuscript of Ludwig van Beethoven's late E major piano sonata. William Meredith presents a fascinating event with a distinguished collaborator, Malcolm Bilson, as partner. The talk and performance focuses on elements of the creative process visible in Beethoven's manuscript score, and some interesting details it can reveal about what Beethoven does not want the composer to do. Speaker Biography: William Meredith is the founding director of The Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies at San Jose State University, which opened to the public in 1985. He is editor of The Beethoven Journal and the scholarly monograph series American Beethoven Studies. He is currently working with Professors Robin Wallace and Wayne Senner on the German reception history of Beethoven's music. He first studied the autograph of the Sonata Opus 109 when he was writing his dissertation on the compositional process of the work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Speaker Biography: A professor at the Music Department at Cornell University since 1968, Malcolm Bilson has distinguished himself as one of the pioneers in historic performance practice, specializing in performance on the fortepiano, the 18th century forerunner of the modern piano. Speaker Biography: Shin Hwang made his public debut as a pianist performing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Lafayette College Orchestra. He attended Edward Parmentier's harpsichord workshop, where he discovered his affinity for the harpsichord and early music. Since then he has performed both solo programs on the harpsichord and fortepiano and with the University of Michigan's baroque ensembles.
