Ep. 6 – What is a Theme?
Themes are very important in music: by pointing at a musical element, the term 'theme' describes the way in which (some) music comes into being and gives meaning to the creative process.
This episode starts by investigating the concept of Theme in music, with special reference to the classical composers (Beethoven in particular) whose work relates with it more significantly. In the second part I will question how the concept of Theme applies to modern music and whether it helps us appreciating it.
Here are the links to the compositions cited in the Podcast.
