Beeth
ovens Birthday Boogie is
a tribute to one of the
greatest composers in
musical history: in 2020
the music world will mark
the 250th anniversary of
his birth. This piano
piece works in several
Beethoven themes from the
Fifth and Ninth
Symphonies, presented
inthe guise of a Boogie.
It begins with what may
be the most famous
four-note motif in
classical music, the
musical symbol
representing Beethoven.
This is immediately
followed by the theme
from the Ode to Joy, this
time in ternary rhythm,
accompanied by aplayful
Boogie-Woogie figure;
another musical quotation
is then followed by a
brilliant cadenza. An
imperfect cadence ending
on the dominant leads
into a solemn version of
the familiar Happy
Birthday tune in the
style of Beethoven, then
the piece ends with two
characteristic jazz
chords.
