This month, Classics for Kids features Ludwig van Beethoven.
This week's show is Beethoven the Pianist
Beethoven was a pianist. During his lifetime, the piano changed quite a bit, and those changes were reflected in the music Beethoven composed for the instrument. William Black, who was head of the piano department at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, talked with Naomi Lewin about how Beethoven's music followed the development of the piano.

Classics for Kids is sponsored by The Charles H. Dater Foundation.
