| 4. I'm a fan of the Fifth. It has been so overdone, those opening notes, |
|
that it has almost become cliched. Everybody knows those notes that signify "Fate knocking on the door", but how many know the 45 minutes of sheer unadulterated genius that follow it? The first movement is one of the best, most thorough extrapolations of a single musical idea in history. And the second movement has an unequaled majesty and grandeur.
I knew Beethoven was progressive, but I didn't know he actively opposed Anti-Semitism. That's quite remarkable for his day. Beethoven ROCKS!

Brahms' First Symphony is often referred to as "Beethoven's Tenth." |

First off, F. Nietzsche was born 17 years after Beethoven's death. |
