Can You Improve Beethoven’s 9th? Igudesman Thinks He Can! 😱🎶

In Joyful Variations, the famous Ode to Joy theme leaves Vienna and embarks on a musical world tour, transforming into a series of wildly different styles and cultures. From Irish celebrations and Turkish rhythms to Brazilian samba, Latin grooves, and beyond, Beethoven’s most famous melody gets a passport, a suitcase, and a serious identity crisis.

This performance comes from Beethoven NOW, Aleksey Igudesman’s hit show that asks a simple question: What would happen if Beethoven were alive today? Through humor, virtuosity, and fearless musical experimentation, Beethoven’s masterpieces are reimagined for the modern world.

Don’t worry. The original Ninth Symphony is still safe. Beethoven can’t sue anyone anymore.

Something fun, unexpected and a little different.

This time: excerpts from “Twinkle Twinkle You Big Star” from my 2-violin book Mozart & More ⭐️🎻

There are also versions for violin + viola and violin + cello, all available from .

What do you think of this unusual collab?

And more importantly…

Imagine Beethoven’s 5th in 5/4 🤯

What if Ludwig van Beethoven had written his famous Symphony No. 5 in 5/4 time?

In Beethoven Takes Five, Aleksey Igudesman reimagines one of the most iconic themes in classical music by giving it an unexpected rhythmic twist. The result is a playful, virtuosic, and surprisingly natural new take on Beethoven’s masterpiece.

This performance comes from Beethoven NOW, Aleksey Igudesman’s acclaimed show that explores what Beethoven might sound like if he were alive today. Through humor, imagination, and musical reinvention, Beethoven NOW transforms familiar classics into fresh and unexpected experiences, proving that great music can be endlessly reimagined.

Would Beethoven have approved? We may never know. He did spend much of his life breaking the rules, which is usually what gets composers remembered instead of forgotten.

Thank you Hans Zimmer for this lovely birthday present! Never owned a kashmir cardigan before! Looking forward o many mo...
