Producer and host Thijs Bonger continues his search through the life and works of Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837). Part VII starts in 1807 and pictures the tremendous work ethic and the versatility of Hummel. He is still employed by the monarch Esterhazy, but has many jobs on the side as a pianist and composer, and brings his well-paid position as court composer in danger. And he gets into a fight with Beethoven. We will hear chamber music, piano music, parts from a mass and a bassoon concerto.
