Deutsche Welle (DW) is celebrating Ludwig van Beethoven's 250th birthday! In the two-part series “A World Without Beethoven?”, Sarah Willis – French horn player of the Berlin Philharmonic – asks famous musicians to ponder what the world would be like had Beethoven never existed.

Sarah Willis talks with film music composer John Williams (“Stars Wars”, “Jaws”, “Harry Potter”, “E.T.” etc.), and asks legendary jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis to explain the syncopated challenges of jazz. Singer-songwriter, arranger and record producer Van Dyke Parks (Beach Boys/“Smile”) tells her about pop’s concept albums, and rockers Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) and Rudolf Schenker (Scorpions) agree that the famous "da-da-da-dum" of Symphony No. 5 is the mother of all rock riffs. The various musicians’ answers confirm: Beethoven's innovations continue to influence music up to this day – extending far beyond the classical genres.

DW starts broadcasting part one on September 16, with part two following on September 23. For more information: www.dw.com/en/a-world-without-beethoven/a-54370064
