Everyone knows the iconic four-note melody that opens Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. Dark and bold, it heralds the start of a four-movement symphony that sprang from turmoil both political and personal. When Beethoven wrote it, the Napoleonic Wars were roiling Vienna and Europe at large, and the composer himself was losing his hearing. Despite these obstacles and an initially lukewarm reception, Beethoven’s Fifth has since become one of the most famous symphonies of all time. Hear it performed by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra at the State Theatre in New Brunswick NJ!
