The timing coincided with Wellington's defeat of Napoleon in 1813. It is a programmatic piece for a large orchestra with a battery of military and Turkish percussion instruments including cannons and muskets. The first section opens with an English bugle call followed by the patriotic tune Rule Britannia answered by a French bugle call and marching tune known in Britain as For he's a jolly good fellow. Then comes a depiction of the battle. Part 2 called 'Victory Symphony' begins and ends with martial music but is otherwise based largely on the British national anthem which is treated fugally."

Apart from the excitement of the plot itself in which Count Egmont foresees the liberation of the Netherlands from Spanish rule but dies as a result of his own brave stand it is possible to suggest a deeper reason behind Beethoven's heartfelt response to it: it may represent his own delayed reaction to the conquest and occupation of his adopted city by the French and his hopes of being delivered from them."

It was the first major stage work by a composer hitherto known for his chamber music a symphony and two piano concertos; and with ballet highly regarded in Vienna at that time it was a considerable honour for Beethoven to receive this commission. Secondly the subject matter concerned with heroic action was close to Beethoven's heart. It is an allegorical story enacted by gods and a hero the legendary Prometheus demonstrating the goodness of Nature the potential of man and the loftiness of his destiny . The ballet containing an Overture Introduction and sixteen numbers was favourably received with sixteen performances in 1801 and nine in 1802." Cooper: The Beethoven Compendium p. 249. <br/><br/>"In the finale Beethoven used a melody that evidently came to assume a certain emotional importance for him perhaps even embodying something of his spirit of determination and heroism in battling against difficulties for he used it again as the theme for two important and challenging sets of variations completed in 1802 and 1803: the op. 35 piano variations and the variation-finale of the 'Eroica' Symphony."

Dorfmüller-Weinhold p. 211. Hoboken 2 153. <br/><br/>"Between the Op. 18 Quartets and those of Op. 59 lie about six or seven years and the 'Eroica.' A whole world in Beethoven's terms. The bridge between the two worlds is built of works other than quartets and the only piece of chamber music for strings belonging to this interim stage is the splendid Quintet in C Op. 29 with two violas which lies nearer to the first than to the second period. This work which may be in some ways regarded as a crown to Op. 18 is still shamefully neglected. As a whole it has greater breadth and economy of line than even the F major Quartet Op. 18 No. 1. Although there is a sufficiency of accomplished five-part writing and one gets the strong impression for much of the time that the quintet is. an enriched quartet Beethoven contrives also to create from time to time an almost orchestral richness and weight especially in the vividly resourceful 'storm finale."

In very good condition with light toning to the text. An exceptional collection of the utmost rarity. 1786 saw the successful premiere of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in Vienna. Its reception in Prague later in the year was even warmer and this led to a second collaboration with Da Ponte: the opera Don Giovanni which premiered in October 1787 to acclaim in Prague but less success in Vienna in 1788. The two are among Mozart's most important works and are mainstays of the operatic repertoire today. In 1787 the young Ludwig van Beethoven spent several weeks in Vienna hoping to study with Mozart. No reliable records survive to indicate whether the two composers ever met. Beethoven would go on to become a crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in classical music he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers with his best-known compositions including 9 symphonies; 5 piano concertos; 1 violin concerto; 32 piano sonatas; 16 string quartets; a mass the Missa solemnis; and an opera Fidelio.
