Beethoven’s 5th is an improvisation-based dance film. Created to the 4th movement of Beethoven’s 5th symphony, the film is inspired by Steve Paxton’s Goldberg variations. The improvisations of the film were performed to the version conducted by Beethoven London Orchestra, while the soundtrack to the film was performed by the Vienna Orchestra and Andrei Krupnik.
