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.
