		The work was premiered in Vienna on December 8, 1813 at a charity concert for soldiers wounded in the Battle of Hanau, with Beethoven himself conducting and Louis Spohr among the violinists.
		As with all the Beethoven symphonies, Liszt arranged it for (what would need to be an exceptionally talented) solo pianist.

	Symphony No. 3 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major by Ludwig van Beethoven, Opus 55 (known as the Eroica - Italian for Heroic) is a work many consider to herald the dawn of musical Romanticism.
		Beethoven wrote most of the symphony in late 1803 and completed it in early 1804.
		Beethoven had admired the ideals of the French Revolution embodied in Napoleon, but when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France in May 1804, Beethoven was apparently so disgusted that he erased Napoleon's name from the title page with such force that he broke his pen and left a ragged hole in the paper.

	Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beethoven's Ninth makes extreme demands on the singers, partly because his vocal writing seems designed to evoke a sense of effort, and partly because concert pitch is higher now than it was in Beethoven’s day.
		The music of the symphony was also used in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's album Beethoven's Last Night (most specifically in the song "A Last Illusion").
		Beethoven had wanted to set Schiller's 'Ode to Joy' to music for many years and in fact later stated that he had wished to write an alternative instrumental ending to the Ninth Symphony, leaving an interpretation of the 'Ode to Joy' as a separate work.

		Here's the program: first, the Symphony no. 6, followed, in order, by the concert aria, "Ah, perfido", two movements from the Mass in C major, the Fourth Piano Concerto, the Symphony no. 5, and, last but not least, the Choral Fantasy.
		Beethoven almost certainly knew of this precedent for his own symphony and for his titles, but, since the secret to successful plagiarism is to be better known than your source, Beethoven was never questioned.
		Beethoven produced so much music during this period that he was uncertain which symphony was finished first.

	Symphony No. 6 (Mahler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Symphony No. 6 in A minor by Gustav Mahler, sometimes referred to as the Tragische ('Tragic'), was composed between 1903 and 1904 (rev. 1906; scoring repeatedly revised).
		The tragic, even nihilistic ending of No.6 has in fact been seen as particularly unexpected, given that the symphony was composed at what was apparently an exceptionally happy time in Mahler's life: he had married Alma Schindler in 1902, and during the course of the work's composition his second daughter was born.
		Perhaps because of its grim overall mood and its shatteringly pessimistic outcome, the symphony is not the most popular Mahler symphony amongst 'general' listeners.

	Symphony No. 6 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From Beethoven's injunction that the symphony is meant to be more "a matter more of feeling than of painting in sounds," one might guess that the movement depicts not just the storm itself, but the feelings of awe and fear experienced by a witness to the storm.
		Beethoven did not write another oratorio, but a symphony, and thus escaped from the overly-literal character that a libretto would have imposed.
		One of Beethoven's few works of program music, the symphony was labeled at its first performance with the title "Recollections of Country Life."

		The deafness that had threatened from about 1795 increased, and his despair gave rise to the suicidal ‘Heiligenstadt Testament’ in 1802; Beethoven's musical response was the radiant and untroubled Second Symphony of 1802.
		His best-known symphonies are the Third (Eroica) (1803), originally intended to be dedicated to Napoleon, with whom Beethoven became disillusioned, the Fifth (1807–08), the Sixth (Pastoral) (1808), and the Ninth (Choral) (1817–24), which includes the passage from Johann Schiller's ‘Ode to Joy’ chosen as the anthem of Europe.

		Beethoven's Seventh Symphony was begun in Teplitz and completed several months later.

		Beethoven became fascinated with the musical sounds of nature years before the composition of the "Pastoral" Symphony: as early as 1803, he notated in one of his sketchbooks a musical rendition of the sound of water in a stream.
		While the Fifth Symphony is characterized by an unrelenting impulse to move forward and a constant modification of its motifs, the Sixth favors identical repetitions and extensive pedals (long-held bass notes), in order to emphasize the basic subject matter, which is the peaceful contemplation of nature and people in it.
		There is no doubt that Beethoven was inspired by sounds he had heard (when he could still hear) during his long walks in the countryside.

		Beethoven knew what he was about: “…though I am well aware of the value of my Fidelio,” he remarked to one of his friends, “I know just as well that the symphony is my real element.”
		Meanwhile, the Symphony in B minor was the work of a man searching for a solution to a puzzle: exploring innovations in melodic style and bold musical gestures, and developing long-range harmonic expression and astonishing modulations hitherto unknown.

	Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No. 4, Opus 60
		Beethoven's Fourth symphony is the point of re-pose between the immensities of the Third and the Fifth.
		Here is no vast dream or troubling self-examination, no effort to storm the heavens or predicate the destiny of man. Beethoven was well content for the moment to forget every-thing but sun and sky.
		His orchestra is capable, as that of no other composer, of mirroring the clearness of the atmosphere, which seems to be the source from which this music springs.

	The Symphony - Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 'Eroica'
		However, it was Beethoven who broke all the rules of the classical symphony with his Symphony No. 3 in E flat, commonly known as the Eroica.
		This was Beethoven's first attempt at replacing the minuet with a scherzo large enough to fit in with the rest a symphony.
		Beethoven believed this was a result of self-interest rather than true democratic spirit and later dedicated the symphony 'to the memory of a great man', presumably the man Napoleon used to be.

	Beethoven Symphony No.3 on Record
		Beethoven's penchant for breaking the "rules" is well to the fore in this symphony: in the recapitulation of the first movement there is a passage where the horn anticipates the return to the home key by several bars.
		The story of Beethoven's scratching out the original dedication to Napoleon Buonaparte, on hearing that he had crowned himself emperor, is of course (perhaps too) well-known.
		I have almost 100 recordings of this symphony in my own collection and have not finished with it yet.

	Fuchs, Symphony No. 3
		It is no accident that Fuchs achieved his first and greatest success as a composer with his five Serenades (his First Serenade of 1874 was an instant hit), a genre far more concerned with direct melodic and rhythmic appeal than with the meaningful rhetoric and expressive symbolism of the late Romantic symphony.
		The symphony is in the standard four-movement scheme, and its formal patterns are not hard to follow.
		Fuchs’s Symphony No. 3, his last work in the genre, followed its two predecessors (which date from 1884 and 1887) by some 20 years.

	Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, "Eroica"
		The long held notion that Bernadotte suggested to Beethoven that he compose a work in honor of Napoleon is apparently without foundation, despite their closeness, and it appears more likely that Beethoven undertook this unprecedentedly grand symphony entirely on his own, out of his own hopeful enthusiasm.

		At that time Beethoven expressed the hope that Napoleon would accept the dedication of the new symphony, which was to bear the title Bonaparte.

		Nevertheless, Beethoven’s creativity was not dying down, indeed, he was exploring new paths just at a time of personal turmoil over his deafness and the custody of his nephew.
		A festive character pervading the symphony makes an impression on each of the writers no matter how it is expressed.
		Beethoven’s biographer Maynard Solomon writes that it “was faintly applauded and the beloved Allegretto failed to receive its customary encore, facts which Beethoven’s friends…quaintly attributed to the ‘dense crowding of the audience [which hindered the free use of the hands.”’ Vienna’s wild adulation of Beethoven was dying down for the time being.

	INKPOT#85 CLASSICAL MUSIC: BEETHOVEN Symphony No.3 "Eroica". Munich PO/Celibidache (EMI)
		Within Beethoven's own symphonic canon only the Fifth Symphony opens more magnificently and no final movement is as exciting or thrilling as this.
		The final movement is not only unique in all Beethoven but unique in all music, and Celibidache is possibly greater here than at any other movement in the symphony.
		The coda, one of Beethoven's most profound realisations, is thrillingly done here: the mood moving progressively from solemnity to the suspense of the final bars where Beethoven thrusts us back to the opening of the movement and lets the symphony end in triumph.
