Beethoven - Symphony 1in C major

Clasical Music


Part I - Adagio molto – starts with a slow introduction, of great luminosity and lyricism, followed by the two themes in a sonata movement.
Part II – Andante cantabile con moto – is surprising because it is also constructed of two themes in the form of sonatas and its ending is a coda.

Part III – Menuetto, Allegro molto e vivace – strays from the minuet type of the Viennese symphonies, revealing a scherzo with a musical substance of maximum simplicity derived from thematic elements of the previous parts.

Part IV – Allegro molto e vivace – has a powerful Haydnian expression, but with significant thematic elements borrowed from the previous parts, thus revealing a complex form of sonata and becoming an ending for a symphonic cycle perfectly suitable for that period.
