Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we have somewhat of a special episode, based solely on opinions that are backed up by facts. As I mentioned in our last 3 episodes about Beethoven, he sits right on that historical fence between the Classical and Romantic periods, and musicologists love to argue about where he really belongs. So, today’s big question is: Is Ludwig van Beethoven a Classical era composer, or does he truly belong to the Romantic era?
