8 Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Watch online Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya - fortepiano Richard Egarr - fortepiano coming soon In this episode of BTHVN = Black, we will have the pleasure of hearing the mighty Eroica played for us by none other than Richard Egarr and Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya. The piece was originally dedicated to Napoleon, but Beethoven is alleged to have been so outraged by Napoleon’s self-appointment as Keizer, that he scratched his name from the score, scratching a hole in the page in anger! In this special heritage episode, Gerda Havertong will interview Jorien Jas, curator at the Cannenburch Castle (the Netherlands), about the historic link between slavery and the aristorcracy during the Dutch Golden Age and how this is remembered today.
