What is the song at the beginning ofd this video, all I know is it was in F Minor with no key change.

[kaiserkill]

the first piano sonata.

Poor Daniel Stibern. All the way from Paris, we don't hold that against him. LoLs. No matter it's a real or fictional character, he's a good sport.

[kaiserkill]

his name is Daniel Steibelt (a real character), the documentary doesn't tell the real story..

[kaiserkill]

yes!

This is the 1800s version of a rap battle

I'm glad to know that beethoven is after all a real skilled musical artist - the only ones who can improvise. Much like a good orator: it starts with the idea. There are many ways to say the same things. :)

I think you mean that a rap battle is the modern version of this.

@EliasCalabretta1

Yes, he actually did with Daniel Steibelt in the May of 1800. Hope that answers your question! :)

[EliasCalabretta1]

Just a general question, did Beethoven actually have this duel in real life, or have something similar??

[henrymbida]

@kaiserkill So what is the thruth story if the documentary does not tell the real one

[Bischenka]

The heroic symphony was dedicated to Napoleon!!!!!! he was Beethoven's heroe, untill he declared himself as Imperator!!!!!! Beethoven could'nt forgive him at all. This symphony is about struggle, about strong human soul. And French Reolution, Napoleon inspired him.

@fievel3782 Yes yes yes!! I love that he was so passionate with the piano! Its such a nice idea of him going mad at a piano!

[ohorok2]

@thebedtimestory fcuk you, rap is not a music, and if is - it is music on the lowest level

[IceXMan87]

Beethoven is a beast, this is like putting Mike Tyson in his PRIME against a featherweight opponent. I'd be ashamed to even have thrown down the gauntlet against Beethoven and probably would resign to suicide.
