BEETHOVEN Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 3, “Eroica”

Originally conceived as a tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte and the ideals of the French Revolution, Beethoven’s heroic Third Symphony was as revolutionary as the times in which it was composed. Its four movements explore the full gamut of human emotion, from fear to valor and misery to joy. Beethoven composed the rarely performed Triple Concerto in 1803, the same year in which he began work on the Third Symphony. In contrast to the radical symphony, the concerto is almost aristocratic in its refinement.
