Whether you can read music or not, these graphic scores can help listeners keep track of the different layers of a piece of music that may sound overwhelmingly complicated. After an attention-grabbing flurry, Beethoven presents a simple idea (not even a tune) at 0:17 and begins a series of variations, introducing a more lyrical tune at 2:00, and then gives them a full work-out after we realize the first idea is just an accompaniment to the second one. Hear the whole Eroica this weekend with the HSO at the newly renovated Forum - Sat/8pm, Sun/3pm - Truman Bullards pre-concert talk an hour before each performance. Heroic Beethoven!
