This is the topic for the next two weeks on Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin.
"This is a festival of the late music of Beethoven, from the last ten years of his life. Parnassus refers to the great mountain that towered over Delphi in Greek legend, and was the home of the Muses. In these years from 1816 to 1826, Beethoven soared to almost mythological heights with some of his greatest works—the Ninth Symphony, last four piano sonatas, Missa Solemnis, and his final string quartets. All of these compositions still sit at the top of Mt. Parnassus."
Bill McGlaughlin brings a lot of experience, as a former conductor, player, and student of music. I highly recommend tuning in if you are able.
