Beethoven Beats
Deutsche Grammophon, together with Google Arts & Culture, celebrate Beethoven’s musical genius with a completely new way to discover his famous piano sonatas with ‘Beethoven Beats’. You are invited to tap out a rhythm, which, through the application of machine learning, will be answered by the closest matching work from Beethoven’s extensive piano sonata collection.
The experiment features recordings by world-famous and award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim, who has been exploring Beethoven’s music for more than seven decades. Few musicians have engaged with the composer’s music as intensively and over such a long period.
