Call it what you will—a coming-out … a sudden arrival of maturity … a midlife crisis … With uncanny frequency, “The Fifth” is the ordinal applied to a major work in a composer’s oeuvre. Whether “The Emperor” concerto of Beethoven or Wagner’s Tannhäuser, or any of the remarkable fifth symphonies by composers as varied as Mahler, Tchaikovsky and Schubert, somehow “The Fifth” manages to rise as cream to the top: the best of the best a composer has to offer the world.
In this class we will explore a selection of these phenomenal “Fifths” that have enchanted listeners through the ages. No prior experience in music is required.
