Hello everyone!
To start with, I’d like to ask you all whether or not you are aware that Beethoven’s 10th symphony performed on the 9th of this month.
I expect a mix of reactions. You might be thinking, “What are you talking about?” Or “The composer wrote only 9 symphonies.”
As Beethoven passed away while creating some fragments of his 10th symphony, it was indeed incomplete.
Some people attempted to complete it by adding some supplementary brush based on the composer’s style.
First, Barry Cooper who has been a Beethoven scholar, musicologist, composer completed the first movement referring to Beethoven’s 350 pages original sketches.
Next, David Cope who has been an author, composer, scientist did for the second movement by using his own AI named Emmy.
Then, a composer, Hideaki Shichida introduced a work which consists of four movements as Beethoven’s 10th symphony.
However, in proportion of the number of the movements, the portion of the original sketches left by Beethoven himself was too small.
So, it would be more decent to consider it to be Mr. Shichida’s composition.
In 2019, some musicologists and computer programmers with Matthias Röder turnout to be pivotal in finishing Beethoven’s uncompleted work.
It was scheduled to be performed on April 28th that is the birth date of the composer.
Unfortunately, this plan had been postponed due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Gladly it was performed by the Beethoven Symphony Orchestra on October 9th 2021!
Regardless of the pros or cons, it is worth while listening to it!
