“Beethoven for One” in New York: String quartets for one listener

Culture

In the coronavirus pandemic, classical music fans in New York can have a concert all to themselves. All 16 string quartets by the composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) will be performed for seven consecutive days in a building on Fifth Avenue until Sunday. In addition to four musicians, only one listener – or a couple or people living together in a household – is allowed due to the Corona restrictions.

The rush for the ten-minute concert experiences, for which those interested had to register in advance on the Internet, was great. The building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan across from the Metropolitan Museum served as the headquarters of the Goethe Institute in New York for a long time and is currently operated under the name “1014” as the “Place for Ideas”.
