Classical Music Playlist, May 7, 2021
Beethoven originally intended to dedicate his third symphony to Napoleon and the great man that he had shown promise to become. But when Napoleon turned out to be more of a tyrant, Beethoven instead dedicated his symphony to “the memory of a great man.” That could be the heroic greatness that anyone could exhibit. The “Heroic” or “Eroica” Symphony #3 by Beethoven at 2:00pm today. [Just for fun: points for you if you recognize from what movie this image of the LP was taken. Trivia: it's a fictional orchestra and conductor.]
