The All-Beethoven Network

BBC3 Radio plans to broadcast every note Beethoven wrote. “The schedules will be cleared for a week in June, the Radio 3 airwaves will be unsullied by music by any other composer, and listeners will be treated to such little-known delights as Beethoven’s 100 or so settings of Scottish, Irish and Welsh folksongs. Over the six days and nights some of Beethoven’s works will even be heard twice. ‘There are about 100 hours of Beethoven’s music, but we are devoting 136 hours to him’.”
