Introduction to some of the repertoire:
1. "Egmont Overture"
This is the prelude to the musical score written by Beethoven for Goethe's tragedy "Egmont". Beethoven's overtures written for operas and plays play an important role in his symphonic music works, among which this overture is the most popular. The Egmont Overture, with its heroic conception and rigorous and perfect form, has a strong appeal, reflecting Egmont's fighting spirit and his tragic death, and expressing Beethoven's belief that "the invincibility of the people's revolutionary force is invincible." "This firm belief. At the same time, it is one of the most accessible and popular symphony pieces, often performed in concerts as a stand-alone symphony piece.
2.Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major (Emperor)
This piece is the largest of all the piano concertos by German composer Beethoven, so it is often called the "Emperor" concerto. In this piece, Beethoven, who has perfect composition skills, has also designed many new ideas. The whole work contains magnificent waves and infinitely changing melody in the stable structure, especially the flower play of the lead piano. The first movement, from the very beginning, gives the audience the impression of extreme grandeur and splendor. Today, the "Emperor" Piano Concerto has become a favorite among music fans around the world, a popular piece of music that every major pianist must play, and a good stepping stone to entry into classical music.
3. Symphony No. 3 in E flat major (Hero)
This symphony is full of innovative spirit from content to form, with unrestrained emotion, huge length, and novel and free harmony and rhythm. He made innovations in the musical structure, such as using a solemn march as the second movement and a scherzo as the third movement, all of which are unprecedented and are called milestones in the history of symphony, and are also regarded as The highest expression of classical music. This work is one of Beethoven's most famous masterpieces. It is the first work that breaks the Vienna symphony model and fully reflects the heroic character. The works run through serious and joyful emotions, and always maintain deep and sincere feelings, presenting a strong romantic atmosphere. Beethoven himself once claimed that his favorite symphony was this Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major.
