Analysis by

Comment by Orlando Gonzalez:

Dear Sir: 

Your analysis on Beethoven's 5th is brilliant. 

I have listened to the work hundreds of times in my 60 years and only now can I totally appreciate the phenomenal brilliance of Beethoven. 

Add to this that at the completion of the 5th he was most likely totally deaf is truly beyond belief! 

I thank you.

1. Brandon Zhang - Who would've ever thought to put an oboe solo in the first movement of a piece.  Wow.  Beethoven is a musical god.
2. Innocent Kristoph Gavin - and then in third movement he decides to put in a timpani solo.

The Symphony No. 5 in C minor, op. 67, by Ludwig van Beethoven was composed between 1804 and 1808. This symphony is one of the most popular and interpreted compositions of classical music. It consists of four movements: it starts with an allegro of sonata, continues with a andante and ends with an uninterrupted scherzo, which comprises the last two parts. Since its premiere at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna on December 22, 1808, directed by the composer, the work acquired a notorious prestige, which still continues today. E. T. A. Hoffmann described the symphony as "one of the most important works of all time."
In Spain it premiered on the night of December 19, 1838, at the Teatro de Madrid, and a month later at the Liceo of Barcelona
