=====================================================================
This week’s
we take out a montage from the podcast vault that dates from early 2012 that
features a work by our birthday boy, Ludwig van Beethoven.
The Piano
Trio in B-flat major, Op. 97, was completed in 1811. It is commonly referred to
as the Archduke Trio, because it was dedicated to Archduke Rudolph of Austria,
himself an amateur pianist and a patron, friend, and composition student of
Beethoven. Beethoven dedicated a total of fourteen compositions to the
Archduke, who dedicated one of his own to Beethoven in return.
Although
the "Archduke Trio" is sometimes numbered as "No. 7", the
numbering of Beethoven's twelve piano trios is not standardized, so that in
some sources the Op. 97 trio may be shown as having a different number,
if any.
The use of
the number 7 is significant today, as all the works on the playlist harbor
number 7 or 11 – a reference to games of chance and spirituality.
The
fundamental bet in craps is the pass line bet, which is a bet for the shooter
to win. If the come-out roll is 7 or 11, the bet wins. But there’s more…
The number
7 symbolizes spirituality and spiritual evolving, spiritual awakening and
enlightenment. This number also symbolizes knowledge, faith, education,
learning, studying, teaching, deep understanding of things, psychic abilities,
healing, inner guidance and wisdom, intuition, empathic abilities, philosophy
and mysticism.
The number
1 symbolizes initiative, beginning point, new beginnings, new projects, new
endeavors, success, intuition, progress, moving forward, ambition, pursuing
your goals, inspiration, determination, confidence, leadership, and making your
reality with your thoughts and expectations.
Eleven is
made up of two ones, but also the Master Number 11 symbolizes illumination and
enlightenment, teaching, idealism, consciousness, mysticism, prophesy, visions,
enthusiasm, creativity and inspiration.
And you
thought we were shooting craps!
As filler
today, keeping to the 7-11 theme, a concerto grosso by Giuseppe Valentini – his
opus 7, number 11.
I think you
will (still) love this music too.
