 Symphony No. 7 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As was usual for symphonies at this time, it is in sonata form.
As with all the Beethoven symphonies, Liszt arranged it for (what would need to be an exceptionally talented) solo pianist.
After a slow introduction (as in Symphonies 1, 2, and 4) the first movement is dominated by lively dance-like rhythms.

 Oregon Symphony: Beethoven Symphony No. 7
Koussevitzky led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the premiere of the Concerto for Orchestra on December 1, 1944 at Symphony Hall in Boston.
Beethoven conducted the premiere of the Symphony No. 7 on December 8, 1813 at the University of Vienna, at a benefit concert for Bavarian soldiers injured in battle against Napoleon.
The majority of Beethoven’s music, including all of his symphonies up through the eighth, was composed during this time; after 1812, as the Napoleonic wars, deafness, illness and age began to take their toll, his musical output slowed.

 Beethoven Symphony No. 5
Beethoven composed the Fifth Symphony on the heels of the completed Eroica, and at a time when many works were coming to fruition: the Rasumovsky Quartets, the Fourth Piano Concerto, the Violin Concerto and the Fourth and Sixth Symphonies.
Beethoven’s contemporary, composer Louis Spohr, admired this formal touch greatly, even though he castigated the symphony as a whole.
It is one of Beethoven's most striking transformations of the so-called Fate motive that opens the symphony.

 Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphonies
The symphony was first performed on 5 April 1803 at a concert at the Theater an Der Wien which also included the premieres of Beethoven's C minor piano concerto and oratario 'Christus am Oelberge'.
Beethoven's use of this A-B-A-B-A structure for a scherzo was the result of his quest to expand his writing musically and structurally at this time.
Beethoven provides interesting colour effects by having the timpani tuned to octave Fs, an effect he was to repeat in the scherzo of the 9th Symphony.

 Beethoven Symphony No. 7 and Fidelio Overture by Karl Lozier
Cover notes for the album state that the symphony was recorded October 24, 1955.
I think there is no question that in 1954 Pfeiffer and Chase handled the two channel stereo classical recordings for RCA, (LSC-1806) recorded in March 1954 for example.
Recorded Reiner performances of Beethoven's music at times were greeted by mixed critical reviews.

 BEETHOVEN
With characteristic humor, Beethoven threatens to present the Trio still a third time ("What, again?", is the expected reaction from the listener), but suddenly he dismisses it with five brusque chords from the full orchestra, and we are ready for the next movement.
The tonic key of A major is emphatically established in the opening "call to attention"; excursions then follow to C major (the lyrical oboe theme that arrives after the succession of rising scales in the strings) and F major (the lyrical theme later in the flute).
The third movement is a double Scherzo and Trio in F major (one of the harmonic pillars of the symphony).

 [No title]
After Beethoven's marathon concert of December 1808, which included the first performances of his Fifth and Sixth Symphonies, the city of Vienna was not to hear a new Beethoven symphony for some five years.
The finale is an sonata form, but Beethoven plays down the contrasts of tonality and the theme and gives the movement more the character of a coda to the entire symphony than an argumentative piece to be reckoned with in its own right.

 Beethoven Allegretto From Symphony No. 7 Theme and Variations by Karl Lozier
Jacques Loussier is quoted as saying; "I have always been haunted by the theme of the Allegretto (second movement) from Beethoven's Seventh Symphony since I first began to play music." Appropriately or not, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 has been danced often by ballet corps.
Do remember that traditionally the second movement of a symphony is the slowest, "quietest" or most dance-like of the movements.
eethoven's Symphony No. 7 is, in my opinion, one of the ten best symphonies ever written.

Oregon Symphony Classical concerts regularly include additional opportunities for listeners to learn more about the music and the orchestra.
The irrepressible energy of this symphony can be heard as Beethoven’s defiant assertion of his will and musical ability against his encroaching deafness.
From 1985 to 1988 he was Music Director of Mannes College Orchestra in New York, and from 1988 to 1994 held a highly successful tenure as General Music Director of Krefeld/Mönchengladbach Opera House and the Niederrheinische Sinfoniker.

When Carlos Kleiber released his classic Beethoven Fifth in 1975 with the Vienna Phil., it made his reputation oernight, and the recording itself was greeted as a revelation.
Bohm also does not take repeats, which Kleiber does, both in Symphony 5: IV (back to the beginning of IV, the exposition repeat) and in Symphony 7: I, where the flute begins the 6/8 rhythm, the allegro section of the movement.

the second part of the symphony was replaced with the second part of Symphony No. 7.
Listening to this symphony’s grand finale one can hardly decide what to think more astonishing: Beethoven’s amazing creative fantasy, the impeccable form, the amazing talent in using all the musical resources in developing the themes or his compact, luscious, sumptuous instrumentation.
In Trio, the composer uses a theme from an Austrian folkloric song, the theme of which had been jotted down while Beethoven was in Teplitz.

In the orchestra, which Beethoven conducted, were Schuppanzigh, Romberg and Spohr among the violins, and Hummel and Meyerbeer (who was always late for his cues, causing some cursing by the composer) on the timpani.

 NPR : Admirers of the Allegretto from Beethoven's 7th
All Things Considered, December 24, 2003 · The Allegretto from Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 is one of the world's best-loved pieces of music, evoking inspiration and affection since its first performance in 1812.
Two recordings available in stores pay tribute to the piece: Pianist Jacques Loussier's trio offers a jazz interpretation, and pianist Helene Grimaud performs a 1985 fantasia based on Beethoven's original.
