Beethoven was born in 1770 and wrote this in 1811. When it premiered in Vienna in 1813, Beethoven himself conducted the orchestra. He didn't lose his hearing until 1819 (six years before he died in 1827). So he did hear it played.

This recording is from Leonard Bernstein's final concert which ended with Beethoven's 7th. He was dying of mesothelioma and purposefully chose this symphony as the last thing he would ever conduct. He was incredibly weak and tired; he suffered a coughing fit during the movement after this one. Think about that when you hear the Allegretto swell to its two famous crescendos. And how he held it together to conduct one of the most emotional compositions of classical music. When it debuted, the Allegretto drove audiences wild. It still does.

In April, while my family and I were on vacation, we got into a car accident. My brother became brain dead and a few days later was put to rest after giving away some of his organs, per his wishes. Months prior to this, he learned this piece on piano by himself. He played it beautifully. He taught it to my younger brother. My younger brother plays it now with profound sadness, yet with the sadness, he feels comforted by the fact that this piece was taught to him by my older brother. In a way, this anecdote that you commented reminds me of this.

I feel like if Beethoven was a piece of his own music, this would be it. It sounds like a man who keeps to himself. A man molded by his past trauma, shrouded in his own ambition, and scorned by the world. He walks alone, and whenever he tried to find love in someone, it backfires. His only form of solitude come in his music. And even then, he’s losing the ability to hear his own creations. This piece perfectly encapsulates his anger, rage, depression, and momentary bliss with it’s almost melancholic motif. The main melody at the beginning of the movement feels like heavy footsteps. I envision Beethoven taking a walk through the countryside, hands behind his back, Frown on his face, thinking deeply about something troubling him. The end of the piece when everything gets quieter with the staccato strings and oboes reminds me of a sleepless night of trying to write music that just won’t come to you. You slowly drift off into sleep knowing that you failed to formulate the idea you had and you’ll never get the same melody back. And as the piece slowly fades to complete silence the next movement begins.

My Music Theory Prof. referred to Beethoven as "The Composer who liberated music". Early on I didn't understand why. With more exposure to his music I caught on. He reimagined chord structure and progressions, creating musical phrases that were truly unique. Simple melodic motifs were transformed into timeless testaments. And of course, his total disregard for the old, formal conventions of classical music. A groundbreaking genius among geniuses. No movement, I believe, better captures the essence of Beethoven, the man, than this one does. Sublime.

This is what it sounds like to move on from life’s tragedies and regrets. You feel the ensuing pain and sorrow and the climax of it all and then eventually it all subsides, you feel some hope, time heals your wound and you feel stronger from it. Then in the later parts, the main phrase echoes again as if remembering the memory of the pain but this time accepting the pain with strength and fortitude, as if ready for more to come. Such a moving piece, very human.

Who doesn't want to listen to a wild party! So much fun, and loved the 4th movement ever since he played it that first time for us. He played many other pieces, and for a partial section of our tests, he played a piece, and we had to write down the composer, title, and movement. Just a wonderful subject besides the harder academic ones, and wish the high school had another, more advanced music one! Beethoven himself conducted it at its premiere on Dec. 8, 1813 in Vienna. His friends made "a repetition of the concert by which Beethoven was extricated from his pecuniary difficulties." (i.e., getting him in a better financial condition) A charity event for wounded soldiers (Battle of Hanau in Oct. 1813). Nothing has changed in 200+ years with charity events for soldiers!
