	Symphonies of Beethoven
		Symphony No. 3—The "New Path"—Heroism and Self-Expression, II Symphony No. 3—The "New Path"—Heroism and Self-Expression, III
		Symphony No. 2 has an extraordinary expressive and compositional range that puts it at the outer edge of the classical style, even as it approached Beethoven's new heroic aesthetic, which was fully realized in Symphony No. 3 of 1803.
		Symphony No. 3 is a metaphor for the eternal struggle of the hero against adversity, a struggle with which Beethoven personally identified.

	Symphony No. 2 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beethoven's Second Symphony was mostly written during Beethoven's stay at Heiligenstadt in 1802, which was near the time that he began to realize he was becoming deaf.
		Beethoven wrote the Second Symphony without having a standard Minuet; a Scherzo took its place, which gave the composition an even greater scope and energy.
		After the symphony's premiere, critics noted the absence of the traditional Minuet, and claimed the composition had great strength, but was altogether too eccentric.

		Symphony No. 2 in D major, op.36 was elaborated in the summer of 1802 in Heilligenstadt when Beethoven was fighting to get control over his life.

	Beethoven Symphony No.2 on Record (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Beethoven was, at this time, first becoming aware of his impending deafness and his inner life cannot have been happy - as witness the "Heiligenstadt testament" written in October of the same year.
		The symphony was first performed on April 5 1803, and is - although perhaps only with hindsight is this obvious - a transitional work, which seems to have been recorded fewer times than the others (it shares this distinction with number 4).
		As with the First, the second symphony is always to be found coupled with another symphony.

	Beethoven Symphony No. 5
		Beethoven composed the Fifth Symphony on the heels of the completed Eroica, and at a time when many works were coming to fruition: the Rasumovsky Quartets, the Fourth Piano Concerto, the Violin Concerto and the Fourth and Sixth Symphonies.
		Beethoven’s contemporary, composer Louis Spohr, admired this formal touch greatly, even though he castigated the symphony as a whole.
		In this sense, the wanderings and re-creations of the Fate motive partake of the poetic sense of fantasia and might be heard in that spirit rather than in the spirit of determinism or fatalism.

	NPR : Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 21
		The Beethoven who thought of killing himself at 31 is very different from the mythic figure who eventually came to redefine music and whose life in so many ways epitomizes that of the Romantic artist.
		Beethoven was about to embark on a "new path," as he told his student Carl Czerny.
		Hearing these various instruments disputing over fragments of a theme which no one of them plays in its entirety, hearing each fragment thus colored with a thousand nuances as it passes from one to the other, it is as though you were watching the fairy sports of Oberon's graceful spirits.

	Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony 2
		Beethoven's Second Symphony is a testimony to extraordinary courage.
		Although his career was progressing well, Beethoven's hearing was failing quickly, and by 1802, he could no longer ignore the approach of deafness.
		Beethoven himself conducted the program, which also featured the premieres of the oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives and the Third Piano Concerto.

	Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No 2 D Major
		Beethoven's Second symphony was composed in the years 1802 and 1802, those years when nature pronounced upon the composer the sentence of complete deafness; when he knew the terror of the silence inexorably closing upon him; when his love for the youthful Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, though returned, was pronounced hopeless so far as marriage.
		Camille Bellaigne called the work "a heroic lie," for the mood of the symphony is one of strength and joy—Beethoven confronting life and proudly aware of the power of his genius.
		Between his First and Sec, and symphonies, while there is no such gap as that which separates the Second and Third, there is a distance eloquent of interior growth.

	Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At one point Beethoven gives the direction ritmo di tre battute, meaning that the beats of three consecutive measures must form a single rhythmic unit, as if the music were in 9/4 instead of 3/4 time; this is later reverted with ritmo di quattro battute, with the typical four-measure beat.
		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 symphony seems to have taken particularly deep root in Japan, where it is widely performed during December as part of the annual celebration of the new year.

		Despite Beethoven's mental torment, the works sketched and completed at Heiligenstadt that summer--especially the Second Symphony--remained vigorous and energetic in the unmistakable early Beethoven manner.
		The slow movement is one of the most leisurely Beethoven ever wrote ("indolent" is the word that most analysts have used to describe it), deliciously pastoral throughout, with just momentary twinges of pain.
		Beethoven calls his third movement a "scherzo" for the first time here.

	Classical Classics - Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Beethoven reportedly called his opening “Fate knocking at the door,” but nowadays that's largely discredited as unreliable hearsay; as Beethoven's posthumous fame grew, many associates tried to magnify their own significance by claiming special insights.
		In a masterstroke, Beethoven magnifies the effect by summoning again the tense portion of the third movement march and then repeating the triumphant explosion all over again.
		Beethoven was all too human - he contracted to sell the Fifth to a wealthy patron for 500 florins (a considerable sum), but after collecting the first 350 turned around without apology or refund and sold the very same score to a publisher.

		Having just completed the second round of performances in their Beethoven cycle with Bernard Haitink, the London Symphony Orchestra is already releasing the recordings from the earlier part of the series back in November.
		The first item on this, the second release in the already legendary series, is a glowing account of the 'Pastoral' Symphony (No 6).
		Back in November, I felt that the performance of the Second Symphony was the weakest of the series; sad to say, the recording confirms this view.

	Symphony No. 4 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The symphony opens with a subdued introduction, common to many classical symphonies, but it has the character of a brooding pause before the stormy first subject.
		Along with the 1st, this is perhaps the most neglected of Beethoven's symphonies.
		Von Oppersdorff listened to Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 in D Major, and liked it so much that he offered a great amount of money for Beethoven to compose a new symphony for him.

	Johannes Brahms - Symphony 2
		The older composer described the music as "disguised symphonies," and predicted, "When his magic is enhanced by the massed forces of chorus and orchestra, still more wonderful glimpses into the spiritual world will be granted to us." Two more decades passed before Brahms moved into the orchestral realm, but eventually Schumann was proven right.
		The second of Brahms' four symphonies was composed in 1877 in the town of Pörtschach on the Wörthersee in the Austrian Alps.
		The often sardonic composer alleged that their fondness for the work was mostly due to the fact that two of the symphony's four movements were written in waltz-time.

	Ludwig van Beethoven
		For Beethoven, the act of composition had always been a struggle, as the tortuous scrawls of his sketchbooks show; in these late works the sense of agonizing effort is a part of the music.
		Musical taste in Vienna had changed during the first decades of the 19th century; the public were chiefly interested in light Italian opera (especially Rossini) and easygoing chamber music and songs, to suit the prevalent bourgeois taste.
		Yet the Viennese were conscious of Beethoven's greatness: they applauded the Choral Symphony even though, understandably, they found it difficuit, and though baffled by the late quartets they sensed their extraordinary visionary qualities.

		But trouble was lurking on the horizon in the form of his increasing deafness, and when repeated visits to a number of physicians did not produce a cure, he began to realize that he would lose the one sense that was indispensable to any musician.
		As in his First Symphony of two years earlier, Beethoven was relatively cautious in the Second, remaining close to the standard set by Haydn (his teacher) and Mozart.
		There is virtually no sign of the changes that would soon be unleashed upon the musical world by the wild-haired young genius, nor is there a hint of his personal difficulties: the melodies are as sunny and carefree as one could ask.

		There is no denying that George Szell was one of the greatest conductors of the last century.
