A season with the motto Nonconformists had to dedicate a prominent place to Beethoven, who took enormous constructive and aesthetic risks, renewing both the musical language and the ethical sense of existence. Of his ballet The Creatures of Prometheus only the music has survived, of which the opening is an essential part. Marianne von Martinez was also a non-conformist, who, despite her recognition as a composer, was never able to occupy the professional position of Konzertmeister, a post held by her compatriot Mozart. Their Piano Concertos in A major, as extraordinary as they are different, will be performed by both of them. A Viennese like von Martinez, Schubert composed Symphony No. 2 in 1815, a work in which he uses material from Beethoven's Prometheus and in which he displays all his creative genius, despite the fact that none of his nine symphonies were premiered during the composer's lifetime.
