Fun Fact: Beethoven dedicated his third symphony to Napoleon because he loved the French Revolution and he considered Napoleon to be a based anti-monarchist. When Napoleon declared himself emperor Beethoven withdrew the dedication in rage.
[H]e broke into a rage and exclaimed, "So he is no more than a common mortal! Now, too, he will tread under foot all the rights of Man, indulge only his ambition; now he will think himself superior to all men, become a tyrant!" Beethoven went to the table, seized the top of the title-page, tore it in half and threw it on the floor. The page had to be recopied, and it was only now that the symphony received the title Sinfonia Eroica.
Fun music fact: the main theme of that symphony, also known as Eroica, utilizes a C# in the opening motif against E flat melody and harmony. That sets up the end of the movement to go completely against the standard V to I motion standardized in sonata form symphony movements.
Also, the french horns play the main theme right before the recapitulation, as if it was an error. Some editors have even adjusted the parts to "fix" this, but it was intended by Beethoven.
I have a music history exam tomorrow and I totally don't feel like I'm overstressed and going to fail, not at all
It's an awesome piece. And historical too; it's often described as the turning point between the classical and romantic eras. The point where Beethoven truly began to push the mold.
Without Napoleon and his cadre's heroic struggle against the forces of reaction the revolution would've been crushed! A transformative monarchy was the only mechanism in that backward continent to effect true change! Typical bourgeois impudence to resent symbols over the material changes Bonapartism effected on the European continent!
