Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony

Beethoven didn’t do things by halves and with his Symphony No. 3 he wrote something bigger, longer and very very different to anything that had gone before. The ‘heroic’ symphony was a musical game changer that outraged audiences with its wild emotional extremes. Next to it, Mozart’s Piano Concerto at first seems a model of politeness, but then the slow movement plunges the listener into a world that’s almost heartbreakingly beautiful, before the concerto finishes up with a serving of pure joy.
