Symphony No. 3, “Eroica” with Coriolan Overture
With its iconic opening melody, legendary funeral march, and the most heroic finale ever penned, “Eroica” is often regarded as Beethoven's greatest symphony. Maestro Crawford and the ACO deliver new insights into this epic work.
Beethoven’s Third Symphony, “Eroica”, arguably his greatest work, is an overtly political statement. Through the music, the composer sought to pay musical homage to Napoleon’s triumph in freeing the human spirit. The result is an epic symphony unlike any other music before or since. The opening movement, with its famous melody, acts as a rallying call. The devastating funeral march follows. In this movement, Beethoven breaks away from all compositional norms that he had derived from his predecessors Mozart and Haydn. The music is at times serene, violent, comforting, and frightening. The Eroica Funeral March represents the greatest break from tradition in music history. The ACO rendition on period instruments gives a listener opportunity to hear this piece with its military trumpets and drums, its openly resonant gut strings, and profound dynamic contrasts from softest flute to blazing brass.
The ingenious finale offers a set of fabulous variations on a theme. It presents as a clever ploy by Beethoven, who after all is writing hero music, not compositional variation exercises. He chooses a simple symmetrical theme to demonstrate his mastery of variation. And when it comes time for the triumphal emancipation of the common man, with thrilling brass fanfare evoking troops marching in step with the entire assembly, we realize that we have been transported from the simple to the sublime. The finale of the Eroica Symphony is among the most transformational moments in music history.
