Although Beethoven never actually abandoned the Classical harmonic language, which he had fully mastered in a fairly young age, his middle period works gradually moved away from Classical spirits and become increasingly notable for its expression of heroism and struggle. The two concerts demonstrate a comparison of his early and middle period works, including the the rarely performed Piano Trio adaptation for the Symphony No.2 in D major, to see how he progressed from work to work with revolutionary brilliance.
