@miatthas According to Wikipedia, "It is written in an unusual variant of sonata form: at the end of the development section, the music halts on a dominant cadence, played fortissimo, and the music continues after a pause with a quiet reprise of the "horn theme" of the scherzo movement. The recapitulation is then introduced by a crescendo coming out of the last bars of the interpolated scherzo section, just as the same music was introduced at the opening of the movement."
This has to be heard in conjunction with the third movement because there is an extraordinary segue from the third to the fourth. The lead in from the third leads to a climatic opening to the fourth. This opening, in my opinion, is far greater than the famous opening to the first movement.
Parts 3 and 4 should be connected, because the end of third movement is the build-up to the fourth movement. Please, join them and upload it, many thanks!
What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got little save pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited.
LOVE it, LOVE it!! I am so glad YouTube fixed their sound so it plays this music back in full spectrum. Now onto "William Tell Overture", I already got "1812" and "Capriccio Italien".
I've always LOVED the fourth movement. I only wish you didn't split it from the third, since it goes straight into the fourth. But that's okay, I love that the whole thing is up. And this is a wonderful performance. It sounds great coming through my shelf stereo. It has a cassette recorder, and yes I am recording this onto tape. I'm sure my apartment neighbors are not enjoying this as much as I am!
Lmao! Hahahahahahahahahahahahah! I find it unbelievable all these fights on this kind of site!!! People! Listen to this wonderful synphonies quietly and with your souls....just shut up!!! Seriously!!! Lol! Beethoven may be rolling in his tomb, hahahaha! XD
@liketheuniverse11 I'm sure we wouldn't be getting these comments with Mozart's music. Beethoven's finale here has tremendous energy and power. Perhaps it is this that fires up the aggresive tendancies of some people.
@DrownedAtLakeBodom HAHAHAHA look who's the fucking looser now, it says i cant access your profile because you deleted your own account!!! ROFLMAO looks like so many people told you the truth about yourself that you had to delete yourself out of pure embarassment! hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@DrownedAtLakeBodom First of all what the fuck do you do looking at random comments and trying to find something odd about them, and as many people have already told you, you have no fucking life. The funny thing is that you say no one responded to my comment and no one gives a shit is hilarious, because YES someone did respond to me telling me I was mistaken and clearly you're the one who's seems to be lacking popularity when posting comments. Go fucking drown yourself at lake bodom
I wonder why the first movement has got over 4 million viewers whereas the following ones have not even got one million, I think the first, though genius is the least fascinating among the five movementsAmany, Egypt.
Immortal, composed on or about 1804, daring, forceful, powerful, convincent, gloriously triumphant mvt...In a way, Best of classical music ever, indominable allegro, presto...I understand God-like, Giant Genius Ludwig van Beethoven was obssesed with Perfection, therefore started @ age 20, unlike Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who started @ age 17,,, strings & wind instruments outstand...Incomparable taste brings back happy memories during my adolescence, thank you very kindly you , adorable Beethoven!!
Oh my! but that is one of my favorites. Forget the recording flaws, cant you hear what he is saying! Dont tell me there isnt a God, because he was pening over Beethovens shoulder . Beethoven rocks!
this by far has to be the most warm and greatly defined piece :D, and i dare any asinine simpleton to dislike it with a reason other than to annoy people.
@acesvi Actually that's written in, I played this not long ago (as a violinist) and the horns actually got told off for not playing it as they thought that it was a misprint. However it is in the score (albeit it's usually longer than in this recording so doesn't sound as much of a mistake)
@sfield86 yep, this was written around the time he started to lose his hearing, and this is one of the pieces which showed heroism (the topics of Beethoven at that time). (:
This is kind of a song in which is kind of abstract, but yet beautiful at the the scme time. The picolloo and the oboe are very beautiful in theis version and the violins are all very expressive. Wow!!!
But, still kinda scary... :'0
I love the way at around 7:20 it all gets really fast. But this is a very good version of the movement and has cool.!
Someone should totally reverse this and slow it down a lil and then upload it to a youtube channel with random video clips that are sure to scare people.... under the name of totheark
Who are the best three composers of all time? I need an answer because wbsites have been telling me Bach is three and Beethoven is one and vise versa.
@damodrummer1 Bach was too baroque and only composed with a strict counterpoint style.In fact,northern italy had earlier baroque composers who created the first "tonality" before bach! Beethoven was the first to bridge the gap between classical and romanticism.When you listen to the classic love songs of the 60's,70's and 80's and contemporary style music,music scores of movies,plays,etc etc,we all owe that to beethoven,not bach.You micalculated a bit.Beethoven was the true musical original.
@damodrummer1 I'm not trying to give you a music history lesson but Beethoven was the first to use daring harmonies and rhythms.all of this we still use today in entertainmnet world.Bach wasn't the original,maybe he was the best in baroque but history shows other composers before him writing baroque style just like he did later then them,but his baroque wasnt in the mainstream after 1750 when classical period came into play but Beethovensstyle is still in todays music in different ways.
This symphony of symphonies is the record of a tremendous inner conflict that fills the listener with awe and trembling, and makes him share with... joy and gratitude... the final spiritual liberation! The Fourth Movement is the culmination, the triumph of good over evil.
Poor guy,got sick and died of lead poisening.A little chelation therapy would have cured him and some eardrops to cure the tinnitus in his ear would have helped his deafness!
@TheEvilEmporerBunny Just grow yours and don't give a shit what others say.Thats the attitude he took!With music created like this,he told the kings and emperors to fuck off.
I love the ending of the piece. It sounds triumphant. It has always seemed to ME, though, that the last chord (which I don't think is a chord but a single note which, since this is in the key of C, would be C) seemed to be "dark" and "less happy" than the last minute of the symphony preceding it. What do others think?? Many rousing finales end with the last "chord" just being a "single note" (most of Tchaikovsky's synohonies, Marche Slave, 1812 overture are like this but it does
ok look just want to apologise I everyone for saying the ending was silly. It is my opinion. No i am not beethoven. He was an amazing composer some of his piano music is just breathtaking. Its just my opinion
No other composer captures the essence of the human spirit more so than Beethoven. His musical legacy to the world touches the hearts and minds of all those who experience it. You cannot be anything other than be purely inspired by it's heroic nature, breadth of vision and an indominatable will to resist all the challenges that faces us all. To hear in the music the struggle and ultimate triumph no matter what the odds are, standing tall and saying confidently my spirit shall never broken.
I love this piece so much - but no disrespect to anyone) but wont anyone agree with me that the ending is just a tad silly?!! Chord---long rest----chord--chord----rest--- etc..
@BaboonBassoon This is Beethoven's style. In many cases his codas are like he didn't want to end the piece, or like the ending is definate. doesn't sound silly to me at all.
@BaboonBassoon Yes I happen to agree with you. It is silly. I mean it's glorious but it's also excessive, which is great at the end of the symphony, when the listener is totally exhausted (at least I am). I wouldn't 'correct' him on it and he would probably yell at us but that doesn't mean we're disrespectful :P
@orphyborphy I also played this with the orchestra that I do, and it was just so awkward the ending seeing how worried the conducter was that someone was going to play in the rests at the concert :L
@eddybob123 You're right; there's no key that grants so much a sense of finality, of ultimate triumph, as C Major, especially when it's the tonic of a movement like this.
@Ignika542 With the beatings he got physically and mentally all his childhood by his father,he was a pretty tough dude as well as the greatest composer of all time.
I'm playing this for my school symphony orchestra (: must say it's quite the to piece to play if you want your arm to burn. Although I'm a freshman in high school, I'm not quite use to such a fast tempo, but It's super pretty to perform (:
@ComposerM - This is the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by Christoph von Dohnányi. I've enjoyed the recording for too many years not to recognize it. ;)

@BaboonBassoon Yes I happen to agree with you. It is silly. I mean it's glorious but it's also excessive, which is great at the end of the symphony, when the listener is totally exhausted (at least I am). I wouldn't 'correct' him on it and he would probably yell at us but that doesn't mean we're disrespectful :P

@orphyborphy I also played this with the orchestra that I do, and it was just so awkward the ending seeing how worried the conducter was that someone was going to play in the rests at the concert :L

@eddybob123 You're right; there's no key that grants so much a sense of finality, of ultimate triumph, as C Major, especially when it's the tonic of a movement like this.

Who conducts? The interpretation is a bit too fast, used to listen Otto Klemperer's version, though it's mono.

@Ignika542 you know Beethoven lost his hearing in his 20s, right,.

@iwilltakeyourmoney His twenties?
No.
Off the top of my head I don't know at exactly what age Beethoven fully lost his hearing, but it was *much* later than his twenties.

I'm playing this for my school symphony orchestra (: must say it's quite the to piece to play if you want your arm to burn. Although I'm a freshman in high school, I'm not quite use to such a fast tempo, but It's super pretty to perform (:

@ComposerM - This is the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by Christoph von Dohnányi. I've enjoyed the recording for too many years not to recognize it. ;)
