Destiny is one of Beethoven's most famous works, which was completed from the end of 1805 to the beginning of 1808. This piece of music has a high reputation and many performances, which is called "the crown of symphony".
Beethoven wrote a thought-provoking epigram at the beginning of the first movement of the symphony: "Fate is knocking at the door", which was quoted as the attractive title of this symphony. This theme runs through the whole song, which makes people feel an indescribable touch and shock.
2. Piano Sonata No.8 "Sorrow"
This is a masterpiece that reached the peak of Beethoven's early piano sonata, and it is also a work that is familiar to the world because of its dramatic and beautiful melody.
This song is permeated with Germanic rationality in content, melody and structure, which is also the characteristic of German musicians such as Beethoven.
The title "Regret for the Past" hides the hardships of life and reveals the inner pain. However, the essence of music is more about "forbearing" misfortune, "challenging" and fighting fate, transcending and subliming reality, and persisting and firm in ideals.
3. Piano SonataNo. 14 "Moonlight"
There are different opinions about the origin of the name moonlight. There is another touching legend about this work. When Beethoven played the piano for a blind brother and sister, the wind blew out the candles.
At that time, the moonlight fell quietly in this poor little room and sprinkled on the piano and three people. Feeling this situation, Beethoven improvised a sonata "Moonlight". In any case, the name "moonlight" makes this Sonata A a household name.
Sonata contains Beethoven's deepest feelings, which were written by deaf musicians with their hearts and souls. The sound of the piano slowly pushes the old, like moonlight scattered all over the floor, slowly moving to the atrium, illuminating the corner that has not been touched for a long time and evoking memories.
4. Piano Sonata No.23 "Enthusiasm"
Sonata of Passion was written between 1804 and 1806, which is the mature period of Beethoven's creation. This piece of music is one of the greatest achievements of Beethoven's talent, and it is also one of the greatest works that are world-famous and often played in concerts.
Passion, through its perfect artistic form, fully expresses Beethoven's thoughts and feelings in his mature period, and shows Beethoven's complicated experiences and dissatisfaction with the times and society in which he lived. This sonata is recognized as one of the highest piano sonatas.
5. The fourth movement of the ninth symphony Ode to Joy
Ode to Joy, also known as Ode an die Freude in German, is a poem written by German poet Schiller in 1785.
Beethoven composed music for this purpose, which became the main part of the fourth movement of his ninth symphony, including four independent parts, chorus and orchestra. Beethoven's music (excluding lyrics) has become the union song of the European Union and the national anthem of the European Council, and it has also been used as the melody of the national anthem "Raising the Voice of Rhodesia" of Rhodesia 1974- 1979.
