Beethoven : The Universal Composer by Edmund Morris (Eminent Lives)The Genius of Beethoven
Edmund Morris has earned acclaim and controversy for his biographies of Ronald Reagan and Theodore Roosevelt (the latter of which won a Pulitzer Prize). His latest book is Beethoven: The Universal Composer. Today, Morris, who is a classically trained pianist, explains why Beethoven is so fascinating and essential. Also: On the New York Dance scene for over 37 years, the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company has become one of the most reputable dance companies in the world featuring Grammy Award winning choreographer, Lar Lubovitch. While he's set dances to Bach and Berio, divas and the Doors, his choreographed canon has rarely included jazz - until now. Today, Lubovitch talks about taking on the music of the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
