Beethoven's "Eroica" by David Stein
2025-11-06 15:30 - 16:30 | Atrium
Beethoven’s third symphony was the “Eroica,” a huge, marvelous and joyful expression of heroism and hope. It was written by the young composer during wartime as he emerged from an earlier state of despair. His Fifth Symphony is more famous perhaps, but the “Eroica” was the most groundbreaking and influential. In fact, it has been called by many conductors the greatest of all symphonies; it opened new realms of human imagination and became the foundation-stone for the Romantic century of Schumann, Brahms and Mahler. In this session we will explore the first movement, a “hero’s journey” in music, to hear how it depicts formidable obstacles bravely overcome, and how Beethoven unifies a vast range of emotion and subjective experience and draws the listener in to participate in the adventure.
