Even more impressive to remember that Beethoven wrote this while being deaf, so he never had a chance to hear it in the conventional way that we do.

[@AbrahamOkunubi]

Bethoveen didn't even know how it sounds

[@toddmartinez2279]

I beleive that he wasn't completely deaf at this point. He was about 30 when he wrote the 5th, and there are reports that he used an ear trumpet as late as age 50, so the progression must have been much less at age 30. He could hear the low tones, which is why the 5th has such a prominent bass component. But ABSOLUTELY, a person suffering any hearing loss would be excused for their music being anything but perfect, but how can the 5th be called any BUT perfection!!!!!

[@1q2w3e4r5t6zism]

Beethoven's 5th Symphony is one of the most famous and influential works of classical music. It was composed between 1804 and 1808, at the same time as his 6th Symphony, and was dedicated to Prince Franz Joseph von Lobkowitz and Count Andrey Razumovsky. The symphony was premiered on December 22, 1808, at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, as part of a marathon concert that also included his 6th Symphony, his 4th Piano Concerto, parts of his Mass in C major, and his Choral Fantasy. The symphony consists of four movements: an Allegro con brio, an Andante con moto, a Scherzo: Allegro, and an Allegro. The symphony is also known by the nickname "Fate Symphony", because of the famous four-note motif that opens the first movement and recurs throughout the work. The motif has been interpreted as a representation of fate knocking at the door, or as a symbol of Beethoven's struggle with his deafness and his artistic vision. The first movement is a fast and fiery Allegro con brio, which follows the sonata form. It begins with the four-note motif played by the full orchestra, followed by a contrasting lyrical theme. The development section explores various keys and variations of the motifs, before the recapitulation returns to the main themes. The movement ends with a powerful coda that repeats the opening motif. The second movement is a slow and lyrical Andante con moto, which follows a variation form. It begins with a simple melody played by the violas and cellos, over a pulsating accompaniment by the second violins. The melody is then varied by different instruments and sections of the orchestra, creating contrast and interest. The movement has a serene and graceful mood. The third movement is a fast and playful Scherzo: Allegro, which follows a ternary form. It begins with a lively theme played by the strings in unison, followed by a contrasting trio section that features a dialogue between the woodwinds and the strings. The scherzo section returns and leads to a surprising transition to the final movement. The fourth movement is a fast and triumphant Allegro, which follows a sonata form. It begins with a fanfare-like theme played by the brass and timpani, followed by a joyful melody played by the strings. The development section builds up tension and excitement, before the recapitulation returns to the main themes. The movement ends with a brilliant coda that combines elements from all four movements and concludes with a series of fortissimo chords. Beethoven's 5th Symphony is a masterpiece of musical innovation and expression. It shows his mastery of orchestration and his ability to create powerful emotions with music. The symphony has inspired many composers and musicians, and has become a symbol of freedom and resilience.

[@dddinah9456]

Yes. I am just one person in the universe - just basic training in music - but after listening to many other composers Beethoven is - to me - so far above the rest. The variety of each masterpiece section, layered over and over each other, is in my opinion, an indicator of how far above his thoughts are (I believe he is with our Lord of course) when compared to other composers. I once had a spiritual experience in which a multitude of angels sang the syllable “la, la,la,” in a constant barrage of completely harmonious song - while changing notes randomly and constantly. It wasn’t til months later that I came to realize how supernatural that was…. to have hundreds or thousands of voices keep changing randomly yet be in complete beautiful harmony together at all times. Beethoven comes the closest to that experience.

[@rodrigosamuelguinis717]

That moment at 5:39, when the second theme returns in C major, is played by both bassoons and horns. In the original version of Beethoven's 5th symphony, this was actually a change from horn to bassoon, made not for an asthetic reason, but rather to solve a practical problem: lacking necessary valves, horns were primitive in Beethoven's time, and could not switch from E-flat to C. Horns of that time could not play a fanfare in C major, and that's the reason why Beethoven assigned the passage to the bassoons, who play this passage in the tenor range. Nowadays conductors assign the C major horn call to both modern horns and bassoons, and why no re-orchestration? Why still the bassoon? Because that's the way Beethoven wrote it, and nobody dares changing the score.

As a musician myself, I love the way Maestro Barenboim has partnered with his musicians allowing them a great deal of personal expression especially in solos. This is visually apparent as the camera catches not only the free swinging bells of clarinets and oboes, but also the bobbing and weaving of flute and virtually every violin & viola as the musical emotion runs high. Yet the Maestro holds his reigns tight enough to produce this truly amazing performance of one of Beethoven's best.

I'm 78. Every day, especially on rainy days off from school, or even before we all went to school, during our childhood--me and my 5 siblings-- in our Bronx Irish Catholic neighborhood we'd hear our father play his old 78rpm records and go through every classical master from Bach-Beethoven-Brahmas-Wagner-Tchaikovsky-Grieg-Mozart-Dvorak and end up with Gershwin. By the time we 5 kids were in the 1st grade we knew more of all those famous tunes than any other family within 500 miles, or 4 other NYC Boroughs. Thank you Daddy. And what's great now is that, as one person said here, with just the click of keyboard finger, we can not only hear but also SEE some great world-class orchestra perform, over and over and over again, all those wonderful, soul-lifting, timeless, magnificent works of art to our hearts' content....like I'm doing now.

Here is a very detailed explanation of this song (which i took like 2 hours writing ;-;) This song was written by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1807-1808, and its genre is symphony. The performing forces is symphony orchestra. For the first movement, the key is in C minor, and it is a sonata form. The tempo is allegro con brio, and the meter is 2/4. In the exposition, the first theme has the four-note motive, and it is comprised of a short-short-short-long rhythm. It is stated in unison by clarinets and strings, and the descending third is repeated sequentially a step lower. The fermatas arrest the forward drive of this theme, generating tension and restless character. The first theme grows out of this initial statement, repeated sequentially in a series of descending statements. In the bridge, the music grows out of the first theme and it is played fortissimo by the French horns. It is unusually short and it modulates abruptly to the new key. In the second theme, the new key is E flat major and it is played by the first violins and woodwinds. The piano and legato phrases create contrast and the rhythm of the four-note motive in the cellos and basses provides a persistent background to this lyrical first theme. In the Codetta, the first-theme material dominates the codetta, punctuating the close of the exposition with decisive authentic cadences. In the development, it opens boldly with the French horns and it draws principally on the first theme. The tension is generated by the use of several techniques, including manipulation and breaking down of the four-note figures, filling-in of the interval of a third, inversion of the motive, and expansion of the passage through forceful repetition. There are abrupt dynamic contrasts contribute to the dramatic energy and at the end of the development, tension builds through repetitions of the basic theme played fortissimo by the full orchestra in union. In the recapitulation, the first theme returns, followed by a short, melancholy oboe solo played freely, in an improvisatory manner. The bridge follows, and it is altered to stay in the tonic key. The second theme returns surprisingly in C major, not C minor as expected. The codetta is also in C major, followed by a lengthy coda that restores C minor, while it continues to fragment and expand on the first theme, much like a development section. The key for the second movement is A flat major, and its form is two themes with variations. The tempo is andante con moto, and the meter is 3/8. In the first theme, it grows out of an ascending broken tonic triad in the low strings. It is characterized by elegant dotted rhythms, and it is marked dolce and played legato. In the second theme, the woodwinds and violins present this new theme marked dolce and legato. It begins in A flat major, but shifts bodily to C major in bar 32, featuring brass instruments playing ff. In the first variation, the first theme is in smooth, running sixteenth notes. The second theme follows unchanged. In the second variation, the first theme returns in running thirty-second notes. For the third variation, the first theme is in contrary motion and suddenly, without preparation, the second theme recurs in C major. In the fourth variation, the first theme is played in A flat in a clipped, march-like fasion. For the Coda, it is marked piu mosso, and the bassoons begin, playing first-theme material. The key for the third movement is C minor, and it is ternary form. The scherzo and trio replace the traditional menuet and trio. The tempo is allegro, and the meter is 3/4. In the Scherzo, from the first theme, the rocket theme is initiated by the low strings and it is played pp. For the second theme, the bold subsidiary theme is played forte by the French horns and it recalls the short-short-short-long rhythm from the first movement. Fermatas are added to the mood of mystery and surprise. For the Trio, the key is C major and it features woodwinds and strings. The double basses also take the leading role. There is imitative texture and it is playful, energetic character that contrasts with the dark scherzo. After the scherzo returns, the first theme is abbreviated. The second theme returns pianissimo, played now by pizzicato strings and staccato winds. The suspense is achieved at the end of the movement by a deceptive cadence that leads into a transitional passage. The timpani play the short-short-short-long rhythm softly, and a blazing crescendo lead directly into the final movement. The key for the fourth movement is C major and it is sonata form. The tempo is allegro, and the meter is 4/4. In the Exposition for the first theme, the theme outlines the tonic chord, and the ff trumpets add a majestic touch. For the bridge, it features French horns and it leads to G major. For the second theme, a new triplet figure introduces a vigorous theme. The theme ascends in a stepwise motion, echoed by descending figures. There are also dramatic contrasts between ff and p, and it also contains the short-short-short-long motive. For the Codetta, the woodwinds and violas initiate the codetta, and the codetta theme descends in four-note fragments. The development is based on the second theme material: inverted, expanded, and treated imitatively between instruments. Toward the end of the development, the scherzo theme is unexpectedly recalled, now pp, played gently by woodwinds and pizzicato strings. There is also extended dominant preparation on the note G that leads into the recapitulation. For the recapitulation, all the musical material returns but remains in C major. In the coda, the piccolo stands out above the orchestra, playing rapid ascending scales. At the Presto, the codetta theme is played quickly, leading to a bold and dramatic conclusion. The final tonic chord is reiterated eight times.

[@williamdavid5737]

The entire world owes this man for his great gifts to the world. They will still be playing his music until the end of time. The entire symphony is billed as in C sharp minor and yet it ends in a major key what brilliance, what bravery, what creativity, what out of the box thinking and triumph of spirit. If Mozart was billed as the voice of the almighty, Beethoven is the voice of humanity and how great a person can be in the face of adversity. It would be the equivalent of Rembrandt losing his sight and yet painting his greatest masterpieces blind, or Shakespeare losing his mind and writing His great plays. Think on this and marvel at how one can overcome our own setbacks

[@yolhanson]

26:41 to 28:15 - I regard this as one of the greatest passages in music. I never tire of hearing it. It is the high dramatic point in a piece which is just astounding in every respect. Consider that the composer was probably deaf, or close to it, when he wrote this, and completely deaf (for all practical purposes) when he wrote the later masterpieces. I know it's all been said, but dear God, this man was almost unbelievable. His reputation could stand on his symphonies alone, but he was the master of concertos, sonatas, one opera (which, just by the way, is routinely ranked among the greatest ever), masses, quartets and so many other forms. The word "genius" fails to do the job.

The more you learn about music theory the less insane it sounds for someone like Beethoven exists, but you never feel like you will ever live up to his height. That is a summary of how every composer in the romantic era felt as well.
