Composer of the Week: Beethoven: At Home

Donald Macleod takes listeners to Beethoven's home town of Bonn and the Beethoven-Haus Museum, which now occupies the building where he was born. Donald is joined by Erica Buurman, director of the Ira F Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, and they explore some of the everyday objects and household artefacts owned by the composer to see what they can tell us about how he lived.
