Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony needs no tribute on its 200th birthday, but is being honored with repeat performances everywhere, including several nearby; on May 12th Lexington Symphony will essay it in a matinee. Retired professors are often the only ones who have time to present research findings at conferences; thus a small cohort of Beethoven experts and their friends (even a few graduate students) gathered on Wednesday in Hillel House at Boston University to honor the forthcoming (on May 7th) bicentennial in “Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony: a 200-year Perspective.” Organized by the founding co-directors of the Boston University Center for Beethoven Research, Jeremy Yudkin (Boston University) and Lewis Lockwood (Harvard), whose Beethoven’s Lives: The Biographical Tradition Boydell & Brewer recently published, the festival heard from six scholars including one visitor from overseas.

[…] occupied him at the moment, he replied, “Yes, sometime soon, perhaps next year — it is a beautiful piece of music, isn’t it?” [The BSO has played the Chausson Symphony 46 times, beginning under Vincent d’Indy in 1905.
