OUR MISSION<\/em>The Research Center serves three essential purposes:<\/span><\/em>(1) to provide a focal point for current research on Beethoven’s life, work, and milieu, at the highest professional level;<\/span><\/em>(2) to create opportunities for scholars and performers to interact in symposia, workshops, and concerts; and<\/span><\/em>(3) to enrich public understanding of Beethoven as composer and cultural figure through lectures, conferences, and concerts.<\/span><\/em>It fosters ties with other universities, centers, and academic departments at Boston University and elsewhere, including the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn, Germany. The Center promotes scholarship in a wide spectrum of Beethoven studies, with a focus on analysis and criticism, sketch and autograph studies, biography, and historical and cultural contexts. It maintains a library of books and scores, facsimiles of original sources, and a website that can serve as a portal for scholars, teachers, authors, critics, and members of the general public who wish to be in touch with the most recent Beethoven scholarship.<\/em>
