: 66 & footnote However, Beethoven's secretary, Ferdinand Ries, shared this anecdote about that horn entrance: In the 19th century, this was thought to be a mistake some conductors assumed the horn notes were written in the tenor clef (B ♭–D–B ♭–F) while others altered the second violin harmony to G (chord of the tonic), an error that eventually appeared in an early printed version. 394–395), while the strings continue playing the dominant chord. : 140įerdinand Ries (1784–1838), Beethoven's friend, pupil, and secretaryĪt the end of the development, one horn famously appears to come in early with the main theme in E ♭ (mm. This eventually leads to a near-doubling of the development's length, in like proportion to the exposition. Rather than leading to the recapitulation at this point, a new theme in E minor is then introduced instead (mm. forms the kernel of the whole movement", and Beethoven reportedly got out in his beat when conducting the orchestra in Christmas 1804, forcing the confused players to stop and go back. Commenters have stated that this "outburst of rage. 248–279) of sforzando chords including both 2-beat and 3-beat downward patterns, culminating in crashing dissonant forte chords (mm. Following various thematic explorations and counterpoint, the music eventually breaks into a 32-bar passage (mm. 154), like the rest of the movement, is characterized by harmonic and rhythmic tension from dissonant chords and long passages of syncopated rhythm. 57–82), consistent with the traditional analysis. : 140 However, others have observed that form and orchestration would also be fully preserved if the second and third transitional passages were cut instead (mm. : 97 Commenters have also observed that the sonata form and orchestration transitions would be fully preserved by cutting the second half of the exposition (m. 45) is developed significantly in the next section while the lyrical theme (m. This pattern would be consistent with that found later in the development, in which the climactic moment leads to a new lyrical theme that launches an extended section. In this view, the traditional harmonic progression of the exposition ends at m. 148) that transitions into the repeat / development.Īn alternative analysis holds that the second theme begins earlier at m. 144–148), the main theme returns in a brief codetta (m. Later, and following the concluding chords of the exposition (mm. The climactic moment of the exposition arrives when the music is interrupted by six consecutive sforzando chords (mm. 109) that draws upon the earlier downward motif (m. : 61 After this, the second half of the theme eventually builds to a loud melody (m. This eventually leads to a lyrical second theme (m. 57–64), and a section beginning with rapid downward patterns in the violins (mm. : 140 In the traditional analysis, this is followed by three (or in some views, two) transitional subjects that significantly expand the scale of the exposition – a lyrical downward motif (mm. The modulation to the dominant key of B ♭ appears early (mm.
The first theme is then played again by the various instruments.

The melody is finished by the first violins, with a syncopated series of Gs (which forms a tritone with C ♯ of the cellos).
7), a chromatic note (C ♯) is introduced, thus introducing the harmonic tension of the work. The exposition begins with the cellos introducing the first theme. 39, and shares many attributes of that earlier symphony which precedes this one by a decade and a half. The conductor Kenneth Woods has noted that the opening movement of Eroica has been inspired by and modeled on Mozart's Symphony No. Unlike the longer introductions in Beethoven's first two symphonies, the movement opens with two large E ♭ major chords, played by the whole orchestra, that establish the tonality of the movement. Allegro con brio Ĥ time, is in sonata form, with typical performances between 12 and 18 minutes long depending on interpretation and whether the exposition repeat is played.
