Beethoven's fifth symphony, also known as the symphony of destiny. The whole work expresses the spirit of human struggle, which is proactive and not oppressed by reality, and shows heroism to the fullest. Beethoven revealed that "victory is achieved through fighting" means moving from darkness to light, from suffering and struggle to joy and victory. Expressed the author's brilliant idea of "winning by struggle" The first four FF notes of music vividly confirm the saying that "fate knocks on the door like this".
The whole song is divided into four movements. The structure is concise and concise, and it is a complete unity. Let's talk about "fate" first
One movement is sonata form, Allegro; The second movement is ballad-like, adagio; The third movement is dance music or scherzo,
Allegro; The fourth movement is Rondo, Allegro.
At the beginning of the first movement, there are four tones of "Fate is knocking at the door". The strength of FF is shocking! It is not difficult to imagine that Beethoven, who was completely deaf, was wandering in the struggle between fate and hope, reality and ideal when writing this work. I think this constitutes the main line of emotional development in the first movement, just like the voice shouting in his heart-"Hold the throat of fate!" .
The tragic feeling of the second movement is completely different from that of the first movement, as if it were a lyric poem. In this movement, peaceful observation and deep thinking alternate with passionate feelings and bright fantasies, and they are hesitant. His firm determination.
The third movement is allegro scherzo, and the strong fighting mood is gradually rising. Interlaced notes contrast strongly.
The fourth movement burst into the most brilliant glory. Finally, the hero's triumph and the jubilation of victory are manifested in the speed of the emergency board.
The theme of struggle in the Fifth Symphony was originally a typical tragedy during the Enlightenment. But Beethoven reformed the traditional theme and dealt with it in a new way, so that people's will could be put into action. From his symphonies, we can easily read that the victory of mankind is achieved through a life-and-death struggle with the violence of fate. On the contrary, his fifth symphony reveals people's failures and victories, pains and joys in life, and shows that the road of life is difficult and full of thorns. But Beethoven has a lofty sense of responsibility to society, and he can't wait to make a contribution. It's like a hero trying to break the shackles that bind him, light the torch of freedom, and March triumphantly towards the goal of joy and happiness. From darkness to light, through struggle to victory! I think this is the whole development of the Fifth Symphony. So Beethoven's work is actually a veritable "symphony of struggle and victory".
As we all know, Beethoven not only faced the oppression of life, but also suffered the blow of lovelorn. After many lovelorns, he fell in love with a lady. Although the lady is engaged, Beethoven is still unmarried. Deafness, social class and many other blows made him breathless. While venting his dissatisfaction with fate, he still retains a rationality in his heart. I think it is that little tenderness that supports Beethoven to continue to fight against fate!
In the history of western music, Beethoven's most important contribution is the development and innovation of the symphony suite, a structural form of performance. As a composer from 18 to 19 century, Beethoven left many artistic treasures for mankind. The symphony of destiny is a sequel to the symphony of heroes. Beethoven highlighted the whole process of fighting against hostile forces and winning here. He tried to use music to arouse people's actions to change society, change the status quo and awaken people! After listening to this symphony, I want to say that Beethoven's goal has been achieved. "I want to hold the fate by the throat, it can't make me completely yield." Beethoven's classic sentences. I think the Symphony of Destiny is based on this central idea. Not only the past, but also the present, its indomitable spirit of struggle is still the force that inspires us to move forward. Looking for light in the dark, there will always be bread, no matter how dark the sky is, the dawn will always come.
