In this illustrated talk, Thomas Forrest Kelly will take us back to 1824 Vienna and the first performance of what may be the most famous piece of classical music: but in 1824 it was unknown and revolutionary.

He is the author of Capturing Music (Norton, 2015); First Nights: Five Performance Premieres (Yale, translated into Korean and Chinese); Early Music: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford, translated into German and Hungarian); his The Beneventan Chant (Cambridge) was awarded the Otto Kinkeldey Award of the American Musicological.
