Johann Sebastian Bach wrote Musikalisches Opfer in 1747, intricate variations on a theme he received from Frederick the Great. Here we hear a movement in Anton Webern's orchestration.
The four famous notes in Beethoven's Fifth – tá tá tá taaa – are said to symbolize fate knocking at the door. The motif permeates the entire work, which moves from darkness to light and ends in triumph.
Today, this symphony is the most frequently performed of all.
