The *COMPLETE* version of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7.
One of the best renditions in the world. Excellent sound quality.
Ludwig van Beethoven
7th Symphony, Full version
• Beethoven - 7th Sympho...
Thank you for watching this symphony...
Symphony No. 7 in A major (Opus 92) is a composition reflecting Beethoven's unparalleled wisdom. Beethoven began writing Symphony No. 7 in 1811 and completed it in 1812. He took his time to create something totally amazing, and this remains one of the best music ever written. This is the moment when we identify a modern stage in the composer's creation, where classical elements intertwine with romantic ones, thus generating a new expression far more intimate and more complex.
Movement I (Vivace)
The first movement starts with a long, expanded introduction marked "poco sustention", showing a solemn and majestic character. On the rhythmical background we hear the fine motif. This first part brings many new elements, easy to decipher, because the composer achieved perfection through sound. Here, we see Beethoven's distinctive use of rhythm and pioneering sense of key relationships.
Movement II (Allegretto)
The second movement is perhaps the most expressive part of this symphony. This movement was encored at the premiere and has remained popular since. It begins with the main melody played by the violas and cellos. The melody is then played by the second violins while the violas and cellos play a different melody which is equally important, described by George Grover as "a string of beauties hand-in-hand". While in the first movement the A major sonorities conferred greatness and sumptuousness, the theme in Movement II, in A minor, brings a whole new atmosphere, thus emphasizing the contrast between the two.
Movement III (Presto)
The third movement represents a splendid triumph in rendering the scherzo form. As a whole, it conveys a genuine bucolic scene with pictorial meanings and associations. With this (meno presto assai) in trio, the composer uses a theme from an Austrian folkloric song, the theme of which had been jotted down while Beethoven was in Teplitz.
Movement IIII (Allegro)
The fourth movement emanates an immense joy from beginning to the end (allegro con brio). It is a whole series of images, full of energy and pleasure of life. This last movement is in sonata form, the coda of which contains an example of the dynamic marking ƒƒƒ (called forte fortissimo or fortississimo). Listening to this symphony's grand finale one can hardly decide what to think more astonishing: Beethoven's amazing creative fantasy, the impeccable form, the amazing talent in using all the musical resources in developing the themes, or his compact, luscious, sumptuous instrumentation.

[@staalman1226]

@@MrDarbol Classical music is the term generally used for any orchestral music, generally not including movie scores, but not always. And Beethoven wasn't really in tye Romantic era. His music was often very Romantic, but he was really a hybrid between Classical and Romantic. So it is classical music, even if you don't consider it Classical Era music.

Having performed both as part of an orchestra (violin) the 7th was always more "work", especially the 4th movement:) In background cinema/tv scores I hear the 7th used more than the 5th but usually it is variations on the 2nd movement. Could also be what I watch.

[@philmcnichol5151]

The first time I heard the 2nd movement of this symphony I was 14 and, as usual, watching an Italian movie on TV. This one, about Rossini, had a scene in which Rossini, a popular composer of comic operas at the time, visits Beethoven in Vienna. As he walks up the stairs to the great composer's flat, the opening, chords of the 2nd movement began and continued as Rossini climbed the stairs. They were played with perhaps unusual slowness and, to my young ears then, melancholy. But I was entranced, as Rossini and I waited for the door to open, and the great man to be revealed. So did I. They talked. Rossini, who longed to be taken seriously as a composer, wondered if Beethoven had had a chance to look over the copy of the new, tragic opera he had just written and sent him -- I believe it was Othello, but I may be wrong. It was a long time ago. Yes, Beethoven said after a long pause, he had read it. He paused again, then looked at Rossini with gentle kindness (or so I took it). You have a great gift, an ability to make people joyful. That's what you should continue to do, Beethoven said in so many words. (I confess I don't remember them exactly, but that was the gist.) Rossini was disappointed, and yet consoled by Beethoven's honest, yet complimentary comment. To this day the 7th Symphony remains my favorite Beethoven symphony, especially the second movement. I'm old now. And as I listened to it, I fancied I might ask my family to play it for me one last time when the time comes.

The most of people like the second movement, but the first, the first is incredible !

[@mydogskips2]

Yes. I first got interested in this symphony because of the second movement, but after listening to the whole work, I agree that the first movement is incredible. With the bright, lively and energetic theme(in A major which I consider possibly the "happiest" key) which almost makes me want to skip, I can almost see the bustling European streets of Beethoven's day, a stark contrast to the initial pathos, but also majestic beauty of the second movement. The second half is not quite as strong, but it's still a great work as a whole. One of Beethoven's more under-rated, and under-appreciated symphonies.

[@mydogskips2]

***** I have heard it(have even played the solo clarinet part) and it's a beautiful, serene movement, but I'm not sure I really understand what you're trying to say. Are you saying that the key of A major can sound sad? Or just calm and relaxed, not bristling with energy? If it does achieve the former, I would first disagree as I do not consider it sad, but if it does sound that way I would argue it's more because of the adagio tempo. If you mean that the music is beautiful, soft and serene, I fully agree. :-) Also, just in case you did not know, while the Mozart Clarinet Concerto is in fact written in A major, the second movement is actually in the key of D major. I cannot remember the exact quote, but I actually thought it before I heard the quote, that Schubert's Trout quintet has possibly the "happiest" theme of any piece of classical music, and it is written in A major. When I listen to it, I can almost see a trout happily swimming/dancing through the water. I also think of Mendelssohn's Fourth or "Italian" Symphony with it's bright, lively, playful and joyous opening movement, written in the key of A. And of course the energetic and rousing tarantella to finish the work, but I know there is definitely a lot of minor keys in the final movement, it may even be in A minor, quite an interesting contrast from the norm. It's quite common for a piece to begin in a minor key and end in the parallel major(that's A minor to A major, parallel keys), but very rarely if ever does it do the opposite. I know there must be numerous other examples of "happy" pieces written in A major, but these, along with Mozart's Clarinet Concerto as you mentioned, are the one's that come immediately to my mind. Oh, and lastly, I believe the second movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony is actually in the key of A minor not major, it opens and closes with A minor chords played by the winds.

I have listened to Beethoven's 7th probably a thousand times--and never grew tired of it. I once heard it live at a concert hall in Ft. Wayne, Indiana--one thing I could not do is sit still like everyone else that appeared to have super glue on their seats and armrests! How can you not move inside and out hearing this majestic, soul-stirring symphony? You can't!

[@fatimaaraba5125]

The second movement is the most beautiful thing on earth... Heaven!

[@omnimog]

We can imagine moments of amazing revelation and the gift of wonder LVB graces our souls with, well, is beyond the limits of comprehension. The creative fire and discipline to bring this high art to our ears is unmatched. While LVB gave J.S.Bach the credit of being the "grandfather of music", LVB gives us his miraculous love, in music and and transcends the medium of harmony to allow us experience his exceptional view of human emotional depth and spirit. His brilliant command of the elements of symphony, key usage, arranging, melody, contrast - well, Beethoven is a rare human being never to be underestimated. I am forever grateful for the profound inspiration and the graceful delivery of brilliance by LVB, JSB, and the likes. Symphony number 7 is something special (like time travel?). Great sound, orchestra, direction, & recording - Thank you for posting obtica1.

[@MarioFilipeCavalcanti]

Beethoven is chaos and harmony. The entire Seventh denotes that. The Second Movement sublimates you poetically and sadness you appear out of nowhere. The final moment of the Fourth Movement destroys your person Beethoven é o caos e é a harmonia. A 7a.inteira denota isso. O Segundo Movimento te sublima poeticamente e a tristeza te aparece do nada. O instante final do Quarto Movimento te destrói

[@MartyNemko1]

It is a distraction to argue about whether this is the greatest symphony, let alone the greatest piece of music. It certainly is a superlative piece. Then again, so is Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, Mendelsohn's Violin Concerto, Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto, and so is Chopin's Heroic Polonaise Opus 53) and so is Mozart's 40th Symphony, as is Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachmusic, as is Debussy's Claire de Lune, as is Beethoven''s Moonlight, Pathetique, Appassionata, and opus 109 sonatas, and so is the meditative ultra simple Spielgel Im Spiegel by Arvo Part

[@lstillings]

[@johnehrlich7422]

+Marty Nemko These people forget how many "superlative" pieces of music exist.... but I agree.. this is a distraction from the true point... whatever it may be... anyway i don't necessarily agree on the word superlative... as that is a construct of our times, these were not necessarily superlative to the sound of me in the bathroom after a long night of partying on the superlative of anything you can imagine :)... Anyway, his (Beethoven's) music is truly representative of the Human soul, [as are many countless other pieces that 'Her Miastro' could't possibly list without help] and to that, there is no "superlative"

[@aaronanton8288]

nah fam mozart requiem is sum g shit

[@dofaust]

It is self-evident, and it doesn't need to be proven or deconstructed, however, that this superlative work, is among the _most_ superlative..... LvB represents the best of a vanished Kultur's artists. And, LvB's 7th is often considered among his half-dozen most superlative works. Consider a respected and erudite musical thinker ... Donald Tovey, and his thoughts on LVB's unique genius.....LvB is on a very short list that includes Shakespeare - - The Beethoven of literature ...)
