Beethoven Symphony 7 - Weingartner - Fourth Movement

[paperfeathers]

I like the song but not the propaganda.

Great music rarely has an agenda. I'm thankful to hear this 4 movement "song" under whatever circumstances because it may be the best recording, period.

Symphony No. 7 by Beethoven ≠ a song. Symphony No. 7 = Symphony. Enough said.

@mario54671 Not al songs are symphonies, but yes all symphonies are songs. Go back to the music dictionary.

@satchito Incorrect. A song itself is a musical style. I believe the word you're looking for is "piece." Like, "Not all pieces are songs, but all songs are pieces." A symphony cannot be a song, they're two separate things. Just like, a symphony cannot be a concerto, or a concerto cannot be a sonata. They each have their own form that makes them what they are. If this symphony is a song, I'd love to know the lyrics to it, send them to me in a private message.
