It was the era of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, all working in or near Vienna. It was a time when musical forms reached a perfection they'd been struggling towards for centuries, and which they afterwards fell away from.
Professor Liu Chiu-way (劉岠渭) will expound how this pinnacle of style was both treated and advanced by the greatest masters, with live examples played by eight National Symphony Orchestra instrumentalists. The lecture will be in Chinese, but at a mere NT$350 a ticket the musical illustrations in themselves should be well worth the entrance price. In addition, the National Recital Hall is the nicest performance venue in all Taipei.
