ABOUT THE PIECE
Symphony No. 5 in C minor Op. 67, first movement (1804-08)
Ludwig van Beethoven (German, 1770-1827, classical/romantic periods)
Beethoven was one of the most celebrated composers of the classical era and his 5th is probably the most famous symphony of all.
It was first performed in Vienna in 1808.
When Beethoven wrote it he was becoming increasingly deaf.
It was written in a time of great turmoil in Europe and since the 2nd World War has become known as the ‘Victory Symphony’.
‘V for Victory’ was a popular phrase used by the Allies during that time.
(‘V’ stands for Victory and in Roman numerals the number 5 is represented by the letter V).
