Beethoven: Symphony No. 7
In this series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria takes listeners through musical concepts, the lives of composers and their famous works, interspersed with examples from recorded music. The first talk this month focuses on Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7.
Premiered in 1813 at Vienna, Beethoven admitted that this symphony was one of his best works. When he began composing it, Napoleon was planning his campaign against Russia. Although this symphony has its own unique personality, Beethoven carried over certain aspects of his fifth and sixth symphonies into it. It is said that the premiere was a great success, especially for the second movement which had to be encored.
