2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. In response to the many concerts and events celebrating and promoting a composer who is already among the most prominent and often-programmed, many musicians, listeners, and music scholars have set themselves the goal of listening wider-- expanding the range of what they listen to and perform.

This guide will include playlists, reference materials, and guides for how to identify music that meets each challenge.
