In his recent biography of Beethoven ("Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph") Jan Swafford says that the fugal episode in the 2nd movement of the 3rd symphony is perhaps Beethoven's single greatest moment. at 8:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arfHsnxE-MU

I like music we have now, but it is a real shame we don't have complicated music like this anymore. It is so awesome!

Considered Beethoven's worst piece of music. But hey, it brought him a fair amount of money! It was presented at the Congress of Vienna and commemorates the victory over Napoleon. Notice Rule Brittiania at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsV4O7ibYCs According to wiki Beethoven didn't use La Marseillaise to represent the French because that tune was considered risque at the time.

Best scene from "Immortal Beloved." That movie is a bit hokey and far too romanticized but this scene is good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AT8Mi1mYQ4 I used to be a cinephile back in the day but there's a definitely a reference to The 400 Blows in this scene right (the boy running?)

There was a child prodigy tutored by Mozart named Hummel. He grew up to be a decent composer but he had the misfortune of the majority of his creative period coinciding with Beethoven's. People are coming to appreciate many neglected works because of youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSYS2YzpNR4

The coda of the 1st movement of the 7th has been stuck in my head for years especially because of THIS performance with Carlos Kleiber practically dancing with the music. The famous allegreto somewhat over-used by Hollywood follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sw97NzvvsE&t=644s

My favorite performance of the 9th. Furtwangler, Lucerne musical festival, 1954. It is this performance that revealed to me the profundity of the 1st and 3rd movements. It's also a very personal interpretation by Furtwangler -- the 1st and 3rd movements are unusually slow compared to most performances/recordings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=254ksoIiU_s

A movie was made about Furtwangler undergoing the de-Nazification process. Was he a Nazi sympathizer? Or was he just trying to stay neutral that whole time? See Stellan Skarsgard as Furtwangler in this 2001 film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfURytVFKB0

I would not have thought the SA forums would have so many Beethoven defenders, nor that they would come so well informed. My money would have been on Stockhausen.

What I consider to be Beethoven's best overture. A late period work. Was performed same night as the 9th symphony premiere. Notice how baroque the introduction section sounds (which lasts until 4 minutes, nearly half the work.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ykmhb71gc mr_gay_sex_fan fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Dec 23, 2017 |

Also performed same night as 1st performance of the 9th: certain sections of the Missa Solemnis. The last section, the "Agnus Dei" (lamb of god) was performed and it's heavenly. Beethoven spent some 3 years composing the Missa Solemnis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFYB8ZRvtv4 mr_gay_sex_fan fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Dec 23, 2017 |

Two lectures on the opus 110 sonata (no. 31). The first is one of my favorite pianists --- Andres Schiff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cprd05j9d0 The second is by some dudebro at UC San Diego but he's really good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4E58y_gueo In all the late sonatas, the most substantial movement is the final one. Opus 110's final movement has a unique structure that goes something like this: intro---haunting heart-breaking section --- fugue --- return of haunting heart-breaking section --- fugue (this time an INVERSION of the previous fugue's subject) --- coda. For many years the I just didn't "get" the late sonatas but I managed to connect with them one night a few years ago while under the grip of a cannabis edible. Anyway.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDHIovyhfpU&t=524s The "haunting heart-breaking section" is at 10:15 and lasts until 12:24. Returns later on in the movement after the fugue. mr_gay_sex_fan fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Dec 23, 2017 |

For those of you interested in this subject I HIGHLY recommend Jan Swafford's 2014 biography, which is the longest LvB biography in a hundred years or something. Swafford's book is also substantially about Beethoven's society and that time period, so I learned some history too. The first few chapters painting the time period in Beethoven's early years are a bit of a chore but then it gets gripping. https://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-An...ish+and+triumph

Musical ideas in the 2nd movement of the Ghost piano trio (piano, violin, cello), opus 70, were possibly conceived by Beethoven for an opera based on Macbeth that he never pursued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVYUhS7brCw mr_gay_sex_fan fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Dec 24, 2017 |

Beethovens Kreutzer sonata was originally named after a different violinist who performed it and after the premier the play and Ludwig were at a bar celebrating when the player made a comment questioning the virtue of a lady Beethoven happened to like, so in a rage he stormed away and changed the name to Kreutzer even thought Mr. Kreutzer never played it.

My single favorite Beethoven movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-jus6AGHzQ Some history to this piece: In late 1825 during the composition of the opus 132 string quartet, Beethoven became gravely ill and was bed ridden for months with stomach issues. He thought he was going to die but he recovered. As thanks for getting spared death, he composed a piece of music he ended up making the middle movement of the opus 132 string quartet and titled it Holy song of thanksgiving of a convalescent to the Deity, in the Lydian mode. Here's a lecture on this piece of music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c-R544gF8s
