European countries needed 7 coalitions to stop Napoleon in 1815. Do not forget that Napoleon entered Vienna twice victoriously, defeating the Austro-Hungarian troops before that. Looking at how the whole of Europe took up arms against Napoleon, who embodied a man of a new formation and the dream that Beethoven himself aspired to, he became angrier and angrier with the Monarchy and the postulates that it defended. The Napoleonic Wars that followed the Revolution only strengthened this faith in him. Beethoven sincerely believed in the new Republic and in the fact that the old monarchical regimes in the main countries of Europe, including Austria-Hungary, are a relic of the old times and the time has come to get rid of them. The construction of his political, social, and life views was greatly facilitated, of course, by the Great French Revolution of 1789-1799 and the subsequent collapse of the monarchy in some countries, primarily in France. By his nature, and since childhood, Ludwig was a freedom-loving person, in many ways even liberal. In the case of Beethoven, this is, of course, terrible disappointment and anger. In order to better understand the feelings that a person experienced at one time or another, you should always try to immerse yourself as much as possible at this time, in this society, try to feel the emotions and feelings that the author experienced. And why is the 9th Symphony still considered the most brilliant piece of classical music and the European Union has been using it for its anthem for many years.
What life and social circumstances influenced the fact that Beethoven decided to make this symphony the only vocal work in his practice.
In our article, we tried not only to talk about how the last Beethoven symphony was written but also about what the author, the genius composer of his time, had to go through. We will touch on this in more detail below. The last creation of the author, which he demonstrated to the Vienna public on May 7, 1824, is unique for several reasons. Our example today is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. One of the main reasons why this music, written 150, 200, or 300 years ago, still excites the minds of listeners and evokes a whole range of emotions is the incredible talent and genius with which this music was written. SL: What is it about the Allegretto? Melody, motion, and maybe a little mystery-all part of the genius of Beethoven.It is not for nothing that classical music has survived to this day. SD: There is something subliminal that makes this rhythm we hear all the time. SD: Then, finally, when the theme arrives, it’s fabulous because it has this element of nostalgia. You have the feeling you have direct access to the heart of Beethoven. Stéphane Denève: It starts by the way within a minor chord, and then suddenly what you hear is not the theme, but the counter theme. SL: What is it about the second movement of Beethoven’s 7th symphony that draws us in? MUSIC: Jazz pianist Jacques Loussier, Variation 1 on Beethoven's Allegretto. Susan Lewis: The Allegretto has been performed on its own, used in The King’s Speech and other films, and inspired composers from Schubert to jazz pianist Jacques Loussier.
