5/14 The Robert Greenberg Lectures

Robert Greenberg's Teaching Company Lectures were a great help to me when I was first getting my feet wet with classical music in general and Beethoven in particular.  He has a pretty outgoing and fun approach to lecturing on music and his "Wordscore Guides" were very helpful when I was doing those video-annotated analyses of the first 5 symphonies.  Now a good chuck of his lecturing is available online so...get your Greenberg on!

30. The French Revolution and an Introduction to Beethoven

31. Beethoven's 5th Symphony Part 1

32. Beethoven's 5th Symphony Part 2
